Custom tea bags need to make tea type, origin, flavor, weight or sachet count, and steeping guidance easy to scan. A Flat Bottom Pouch creates a stable shelf presence while the right film structure helps protect tea from moisture, oxygen, and light.

Material Options
Material Guide
Classic
OPP 1.6 milMETPET 0.5 milPE 2.8 mil
A durable, highly printable structure in matte, gloss, or soft touch. Strong oxygen, light, and aroma barrier for everyday products.
Recyclable
PE 2.0 milEVOH PE 1.6 milPE 1.6 mil
A mono-PE structure that stays compatible with PE recycling streams. The EVOH layer provides strong oxygen and aroma protection without giving up recyclability.
Compostable
Kraft Paper 70gsmPLA 2.0 mil
For brands going fully circular. Shorter shelf-life window than Classic or Recyclable, best for dry goods, lighter protection needs, and faster turnover.
Which Material Is Right for You
Not sure where to start? Think about what matters most for your product: protection, sustainability, or cost. The table below compares all four options.
PCR (post-consumer recycled) plastic is made from used consumer packaging, making it a more sustainable choice than virgin plastic.

Choose the Right Flat Bottom Pouch Material for Barrier Protection
Choose a flat bottom pouch material based on your product’s sensitivity to oxygen, moisture, light, and aroma, as well as its target shelf life. Our Classic metallized structure provides dependable barrier performance for many dry products, while High Barrier flat bottom pouches add a foil layer for coffee, pet food, supplements, and other products that need stronger protection. For brands prioritizing end-of-life goals, recyclable mono-PE/EVOH and compostable kraft/PLA structures are also available. Compare barrier performance, shelf-life requirements, finish options, and material structure to choose the right custom flat bottom pouch for your product.
Choose your structure by retail wait
Longer-hold origins
Delicate origin tea facing longer retail waits gets the strongest listed barrier path; the multi-layer structure is not recyclable and costs more.
Use Classic (Standard)
Durability:★★★★
Structure:OPP / PET / Aluminum foil / PE
Everyday shelf lines
Everyday black tea or prepared sachet multipacks balance barrier and value for regular turnover; the multi-layer structure is not recyclable.
Use Classic (High Barrier)
Durability:★★★
Structure:OPP / METPET / PE
Fast-turn refill shops
Fast-turn refill lines get moderate barrier in a PE recycle-stream-compatible structure; confirm the exact tea fit and local collection.
Use Recyclable
Durability:★★★
Structure:Matte PE / EVOH / PE
Short-run botanicals
Short-run dry botanicals get the lightest listed protection; this is a poor fit for light-sensitive, strongly aromatic, or long-hold tea, and local compost access must be confirmed.
Use Compostable
Durability:★★
Structure:Kraft paper / Clear PLA

Got questions? We've got answers.
Are these the tea bags that go directly into a cup?
No. Here, custom tea bags refers to printed Flat Bottom Pouches for loose-leaf tea, matcha, herbal blends, or multipacks of individually wrapped tea sachets. It does not refer to empty filter bags or brew-in-cup tea sachets.
What pouch material is best for keeping tea fresh?
Tea can be sensitive to air, moisture, light, and surrounding odors. Choose the film structure and barrier level around the tea type, expected shelf life, and storage conditions. Matcha and aroma-sensitive teas may require stronger barrier protection.
Do I need a resealable zipper on my tea pouch?
A zipper is useful when customers will open the pouch repeatedly, helping them close the pack between uses. For single-use portions or individually wrapped sachets, a resealable zipper may be less important. Choose the closure around how the tea will actually be used.
Can you size the pouch for loose-leaf tea, matcha, or tea sachets?
Yes. Size the pouch around the actual fill volume or sachet count—not weight alone. Leaf shape, bulk density, headspace, zipper clearance, and the flat bottom can all affect the finished fit.
What is the minimum order for custom tea bags?
Orders start from 100 units, making it easier to test a new tea, flavor, size, or artwork before committing to a larger run. Pricing varies with pouch size, material, finish, quantity, and shipping.
Can I test the pouch with my tea before a larger order?
Yes. Order a production sample to check size, print, material feel, zipper and seal performance, filled appearance, and how the pouch works with your actual tea before placing a larger order.
