Various types of tea make up various types of tea packaging. Let’s learn about the types of tea packaging together.
Metal can packaging
Metal cans have excellent characteristics of anti damage, moisture resistance, and sealing performance, making them an ideal packaging for tea.
Metal Tea cans are generally made of tin plated thin steel plates, and can be in square or cylindrical shapes. There are two types of lids: single-layer lid and double-layer lid.
From the perspective of sealing, there are two types: regular cans and sealed cans In terms of packaging technology, general cans can be packaged with sealed deoxidizers to remove oxygen from the packaging Sealed cans often use inflatable and vacuum packaging.
The protective effect of metal cans on tea leaves is better than that of composite films, and their appearance is beautiful and noble; Its disadvantages are high packaging costs, high weight ratio between packaging and goods, increased transportation costs, and exquisitely designed metal cans suitable for packaging high-end tea.
Paper box packaging
Paper boxes are formed by printing white board paper, grey board paper, etc. The packaging of paper boxes prevents easy damage and has excellent light shielding properties.
To solve the problem of the volatilization of tea aroma in paper box packaging and to avoid the influence of external odors, polyethylene plastic bags are generally used to package tea and then put it into paper boxes.
The disadvantage of paper box packaging is that it is prone to moisture. In recent years, paper plastic composite packaging boxes have emerged, overcoming the problem of paper boxes being easily affected by moisture. This type of packaging box is made of cardboard with an inner layer of plastic film or coated with moisture-proof coating as the packaging material. It not only has the function of composite film bag packaging, but also has the protective and rigid properties of paper box packaging.
Plastic composite film packaging
Plastic composite film has many advantages such as light weight, resistance to damage, good heat sealing performance, and reasonable price, and is widely used in packaging.
There are many types of composite films used for tea packaging, such as moisture-proof glasspaper/polyethylene/paper/aluminum foil/polyethylene, biaxially stretched polypropylene/aluminum foil/polyethylene, polyethylene/polyvinylidene chloride/polyethylene, etc.
Composite films have excellent gas barrier, moisture resistance, fragrance retention, and odor prevention properties Due to the fact that most plastic films have a light transmittance of 80% to 90%, UV suppression can be added to packaging materials or reduced by printing or coloring to reduce light transmittance.
In addition, composite materials based on aluminum foil or vacuum aluminum plated film can be used for light shielding packaging. There are various forms of packaging for composite film bags, including three sided sealed bags, self-supporting bags, folding bags, etc. Due to the excellent printability of composite film bags, using them for sales packaging design has a unique effect on attracting customers and promoting tea sales.
Tea bag packaging
Bag tea is a type of packaging made of thin filter paper, which is placed together with the paper bag inside the tea set when used.
The main purpose of packaging with filter paper bags is to improve the leaching rate and also to fully utilize the tea powder in the tea factory.
Due to its advantages such as fast brewing, cleanliness, standardized dosage, easy mixing, convenient slag removal, and portability, bagged tea is highly favored in the international market to meet the fast-paced lifestyle needs of modern people.
In the early days, tea bags usually had bag threads to facilitate multiple infusions. However, due to environmental considerations, bag threads are gradually becoming popular for tea bags that do not require bag threads.
Bamboo tube packaging
Bamboo tube packaging has a very long history
The appearance of bamboo tubes is simple, elegant, and has a good moisture-proof effect Using bamboo tubes as outer packaging and placing aluminum coated paper bags sealed inside the tea leaves not only looks beautiful but also effectively protects the tea leaves.
Bamboo tube storage is one of the most ideal ways for Pu’er tea, as it effectively isolates odors and dust in the air: it can maintain appropriate dryness and humidity, making it suitable for cultivating beneficial bacteria.
