Packaging

A wide range of formats

As a co-packer, we are able to offer a wide variety of formats for both capsules, coffee beans and ground coffee. For Nespresso®* compatible capsules, for example, we are one of the few companies that can offer a wide range of cartons: 10 pieces, 11, 20, 30, 40, 50, or the convenient and elegant tube of 10. All our cartons are nested, in other words, the capsules are positioned in such a way as to occupy the smallest possible volume. This is an elegant solution that also makes transporting the products more efficient. For coffee beans, we offer either standard bags or packs which are sealed on all four sides: this gives them a more sophisticated look and makes it more stable for shelf display. The customer can also choose whether or not to insert a cap and/or 'freshness seal' label to close the bag after use. For ground coffee, we can produce soft packs or vacuum packs, the latter also in convenience packs of 2 or 4.

Complete customization

Each pack is customized with the graphics provided by the customer, who is free to develop their own brand identity. On request, we can help the customer to create the graphics for their own packaging through our graphics agency: a truly customized service.

Continuous research and development towards sustainability

The current and future focus of the company is to continuously promote the use of packaging made from sustainable materials. For this reason, our department is always on the lookout for solutions that on the one hand fulfil customer requirements and on the other move in the direction of greater environmental awareness (for more information on other sustainability projects carried out by the Coind Group, click here).

Among the most recent projects or those under development, we can mention the decision to purchase only FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council) certified cartons from our suppliers; the responsible forest management label: the paper raw material that makes up our packaging comes from forest sources that are correctly managed according to strict environmental, social and economic standards.

Furthermore, we are currently studying new solutions for the packaging of coffee beans, switching from triple packaging (plastic - aluminium - plastic) to recyclable packaging. Other measures over the years have included a reduction in the use of double packaging, the adoption of fully recycled cardboard boxes, and the creation of maxi formats for certain customers - for example, packs of 50 Nespresso®* compatible capsules, which use less cardboard than a pack of 10.
