Start with how the buyer will use the pack.

Product physics and buyer use determine the structure. The structure then determines the barrier, closure, dimensions and graphic system.

Reference structure library

27 master structures, built around product physics.

Dimensions and fill weights below are design references from the current Packaging Architecture. They help frame the brief; they are not production dielines or supplier commitments.

General packaging specification. Final dimensions, fill tolerance, film or board, barrier values, seal width, closure, valve position, printable area and case cube are confirmed with the selected supplier or co-packer after machinery, shipping and destination-label requirements are known.

Technical non-negotiables

Premium design begins with product protection.

  • 01

    Valve logic

    Roasted coffee in a sealed pack needs a one-way degassing valve. Green coffee never does. Instant coffee and powders stay dust-tight with no valve.

  • 02

    Product visibility

    A restrained window may be used for selected whole dry products after film and shelf-life validation. Powders and freeze-dried products remain opaque by default.

  • 03

    Single serve

    Drip coffee, pure soluble coffee and premix use different structures and fill ranges. They are never collapsed into one generic sachet.

  • 04

    Liquid process

    Chilled, hot-fill and aseptic formats are different systems. The vessel follows the approved fill process before any ambient-stability claim is made.

  • 05

    Industrial expression

    Premium industrial packs rely on disciplined typography, lot identity and traceability—not decorative luxury finishing.
