What is the purpose of the degassing valve?
The degassing valve is a small accessory that allows the gases produced naturally by the coffee to escape from the pack.
Its purpose is to prevent the packaging from swelling, giving the impression that your food product is no longer edible
and safe. The valve, being one-way, does not allow external gases and moisture to pass through the EVOH barrier and ruin
your coffee.
How do I make my packaging sustainable?
Choosing Packstyle is a sustainable choice in itself because the green approach guides our entire production. We use
energy produced 100% from renewable sources, solventless technologies and we have other great little environmental
precautions. One example? We only use FSC certified paper, even for packaging your order! To support our philosophy, you
can choose a re-sealable envelope, select recyclable or recoverable materials and use the multi-graphic service to
minimise costs and pollution due to transport. Remember that accredited research institutes have evaluated flexible
packaging as having the least impact on the environment. Read more on the
sustainability page.

How do you close Packstyle pouches?
Our pouches can be heat sealed with no risk to materials. Just use an impulse, ultrasonic or heat sealer, even at low
temperatures! You can also equip them with a practical reclosable zip that extends the life of the pack, even after the
first use.
Are zipped packs suitable for liquids?
Yes, at Packstyle you can find the right bag for your liquid product. For this use, we advise you not to choose paper
materials but to opt for film or aluminium products instead.
Can the packs contain food and alcohol?
Yes, of course. Our packs are tested for contact with all types of food, greasy, acidic foods and those containing
alcohol. Inside the box of your order you will find the declaration of conformity for food contact. We do not recommend
using recyclable paper packs for fatty or oily foods (e.g. oils, mustards, sauces, fried foods and any food preserved in
oil).
Can I vacuum pack with your pouches?
Yes of course, you can vacuum pack your product with all our materials.
Are the pouches suitable for freezing and defrosting?
Our film and aluminium materials are suitable for freezing down to a temperature of -18°. In addition, products in
multi-material film pouches can be defrosted in the microwave for up to 4 minutes.
Preserves the coffee's aroma
All our packaging is equipped with a high functional barrier that protects the contents from external agents such as
oxygen, carbon dioxide and moisture. This protection ensures that the aroma is maintained for a period of more than 6
months. To ensure an even more durable preservation of your coffee, we recommend the use of aluminium and paper
aluminium holders, which create a total barrier to light and prevent degradation of the surface oils in the coffee. Our
aluminium and aluminium paper materials have been tested by IEI, obtaining the "approved by" certification.
On which materials can I create a window for my pouches?
In order to always guarantee maximum protection for your products, paper and aluminium pouches cannot have windows.
Plastic films, on the other hand, can have windows of any shape and size.
Come si chiudono le vostre buste?
I nostri pack sono facilmente termosaldabili per garantire isolamento e protezione senza alcun danno
per il materiale.

anche a partire da
basse temperature.

qualities of the product and its perishability, our pouches provide protection for more than six months.
Can I vacuum pack my products in your pouches?
Yes, you can vacuum pack your products in Packstyle pouches and then seal them.
How many grams of my product can I put in a Packstyle bag?
Defining the specific weight of each product is very difficult. In order to carry out filling tests, we recommend that
you purchase a sample pack.
Can I achieve a metallic effect using the aluminium material?
Yes, of course, you can. Just do not apply the white background colour and print directly on the aluminium. Please note,
however, that with this solution, the yellow may give a golden effect and other colours may undergo slight
iridescent/metallic variations.
Can I request a print test?
We do not carry out print tests, but you can always test the performance of your graphics by placing a small order of 50
pieces.
Se ho diverse grafiche posso stamparle tutte in un unico ordine?
Si, richiedendo il servizio di multigrafica! a parità di materiale, finitura, accessori e dimensione
potrai inserire nel
tuo ordine il numero di grafiche che preferisci. Il servizio è disponibilie a partire da un minimo
di 100 pezzi.
How do I protect my envelopes to send them once filled to my customer?
Sometimes the journey with express couriers can be very rough for our parcels. For this reason, Packstyle recommends you
to pack your product carefully to avoid that the pouches get broken and the contents spill out when they arrive at your
customers. The ideal thing to do, if possible, is to put some bubble wrap on the bottom and on the sides of the boxes to
cushion the strongest blows. If you want to be environmentally friendly, you can avoid plastic packaging and write
"FRAGILE" on the box to give your products preferential treatment.
