Tea packaging plays a crucial role in maintaining tea quality, enhancing brand value, and meeting market regulations. Whether it’s loose tea, flavored tea, or high-end gift tea, choosing the right packaging methods and equipment directly impacts sales performance.
This article will explain the requirements for tea packing, introduce common tea packaging methods, and demonstrate through a real-world client case study how Taizy provides customized tea packing machine solutions to help clients develop their tea markets.
Why is tea packaging crucial to the tea industry?
- Suitable tea packaging not only protects aroma and freshness but also prevents moisture and oxidation.
- This is important for enhancing product appearance and brand image. Almost over 80% of customers make purchasing decisions based on product packaging.
- Effective packaging meets food safety and export standards, facilitating the expansion of overseas markets.
Common tea packaging methods and required machinery
Inner & outer bag tea packing (filter paper/drip tea bag)
This packaging method is widely used for flavored teas, herbal teas, etc. Generally, nylon, PLA, or non-woven fabric is used as the inner filter paper, while aluminum foil bags or paper bags are used as the outer bags.
Here we recommend this type of outer & inner tea bag with a tag. It not only features a precise weighing and sealing system, but also allows for the addition of tags and cotton string when carrying it inside the package. It is a popular packaging type on the market.
Vacuum tea packing
Vacuum tea packing is suitable for loose tea and retail packaging, or for other long-distance transportation needs.
It removes oxygen through a vacuum, slowing down oxidation and achieving preservation. Furthermore, compared to other types, this tea packaging machine can maximize the preservation of the tea’s color and freshness.
Gift boxes and plastic sealing packaging
This type of packaging involves repackaging already packaged tea. It’s commonly used for high-end tea gift boxes and retail tea products.
The gift box is sealed with plastic film, which not only prevents scratches and dust contamination but also provides tamper evidence, ensuring the product’s authenticity. This heat-sealing and cutting machine has helped countless customers solve their gift box packaging problems and is one of our best-selling products.
How to choose the right tea packaging machine?
When choosing a tea packaging solution, consider the following:
- Is the tea in loose leaf or tea powder?
- What packaging method do you need: inner/outer bags, vacuum packaging, or gift box packaging?
- Is it for small workshops or large-scale factory production?
- Is it primarily for local sales or export demand?
- Based on your budget, should you choose manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic?
