Since 2009, BioPouches has manufactured custom food packaging with deep expertise in the exact segments present at CHFA NOW. The company specializes in compostable, recyclable, and post-consumer recycled (PCR) pouches. All materials carry independent third-party certifications: BPI, DIN, OK Compost, FSC, TUV, and ISO.
Coffee and Tea Roasters: Specialty coffee roasters choose BioPouches flat-bottom pouches because they stand upright on retail shelves without a display stand. Five printable panels instead of three. Available in compostable PLA film, recyclable mono-material, and kraft paper. Degassing valves, tin-tie, and zip closures. Custom orders ship in 15 days.
Pet Food Brands: Pet food packaging demands durability, moisture barriers, and bold visual branding. BioPouches stand-up pouches and flat-bottom formats deliver multi-layer barrier protection, resealable closures, and full-surface printing up to 10 colors. Available in compostable and recyclable materials for eco-conscious pet owners.
Supplements and Herbal Products: This segment requires precision printing, tamper-evidence, and regulatory compliance. BioPouches offers digital printing for low minimums (500 units), traditional gravure for volume orders, and full regulatory guidance. All materials are food-safe and carry the certifications independent retailers expect.
Real Certifications, Not Marketing. Every pouch carries independent third-party verification. BPI certification means your compostable bags will actually break down in industrial composting facilities. Single-material recyclable pouches pass real waste-stream sorting. This matters to retailers, distributors, and consumers who care about environmental claims.
Industry Expertise Across Key Markets. Coffee roasters need freshness locks and degassing valves. Pet food brands need moisture barriers and durability. Supplement companies need tamper-evidence and regulatory compliance. BioPouches has solved these challenges for hundreds of brands across North America, Europe, Australia, and the UK.
Fast Turnaround and Low Minimums. Custom coffee bags ship in 15 days. Digital printing starts at 500 units, making it accessible for small roasters and emerging brands. No need to commit to massive orders. Get exactly what you need, when you need it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does BPI certification actually mean?
BPI certification means your compostable pouch has been independently tested and verified to break down in industrial composting facilities within 180 days, leaving no toxic residue. It is a rigorous third-party standard, not a marketing label.
Can I order a small batch for testing?
Yes. Digital printing starts at 500 units. This allows small roasters, new brands, and entrepreneurs to test packaging without huge upfront investment. Once you are ready to scale, traditional gravure printing offers better unit costs at higher volumes.
How do I choose between compostable and recyclable?
Compostable works best when your customers actually compost at home or live where industrial composting exists. Recyclable works when your customers have access to proper recycling facilities that accept flexible packaging. Our team helps you make this choice based on your customer base and brand values.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Digital printing: 500 units. Traditional gravure printing: typically 5000-10000 units (lower cost per unit). Contact our team for a custom quote based on your specific needs.
Do you offer custom sizing?
Yes. We manufacture custom pouches in hundreds of sizes for coffee, pet food, supplements, snacks, and frozen goods. Bring your specifications to the booth or contact us for a free consultation.
