Achieve Pack Rice Paper & PLA Packaging
The artisan look your customers pick up — with a real barrier inside. Your product gets the handmade, natural-fiber shelf presence; your freshness gets a PLA or cellophane liner doing the actual barrier work.
Rice paper bags suit coffee, tea, snacks, and dry goods brands whose buyers expect packaging to look as considered as the product inside.
Achieve Pack Rice Paper & PLA Packaging
Natural fiber texture outside, functional barrier liner inside
Your customer sees and feels natural rice paper texture. Inside, a PLA or cellophane inner layer protects against moisture and oxygen. Certified home compostable or industrial compostable structures are available for brands that need the claim to hold up.
Custom printed from 500 pieces with digital printing.
Eco-Friendly Materials & Compostability
Rice Paper + PLA/Cellophane: 100% Compostable
One structure, fully compostable — when you spec it that way
Rice paper provides the natural fiber texture your customer touches. Combined with a PLA (polylactic acid) or cellophane inner layer, the entire structure is fully compostable — a working replacement for conventional plastic bags on coffee, tea, snacks, and dry goods.
Important: the compostable claim only holds with the PLA or cellophane liner. A standard plastic liner under rice paper is not compostable.

Multiple Bag Structures Available
Stand Up, Side Gusset, Flat Bottom & Flat Pouch
Pick the structure your shelf and your filler actually need
Rice paper bags come in all major pouch structures: stand-up pouch for shelf presence, side gusset for bulk products, flat bottom (box pouch) for premium presentation, and flat pouch (3-side seal) for sachets and samples. We match the structure to your product weight and filling setup.

Features your customers use every day
Add the features your product needs: a resealable zipper to keep contents fresh between uses, a one-way degassing valve if you roast coffee, and a clear window if seeing the product helps it sell. Compostable feature options keep the certified structure intact.

Barrier Performance
Rice paper pouches with PLA or cellophane lining provide good moisture and oxygen barrier properties, suitable for dry goods, coffee beans, tea leaves, nuts, and pet food products.
If your product is highly oxygen-sensitive, ask about upgraded barrier liners before you order.
Applications: Snacks, Nuts & Dry Goods
Perfect for Snacks, Cereals, Nuts & Superfoods
Dry goods that sell on natural presentation
If your buyer chooses on quality cues, the fiber texture does selling work before the bag is opened. Stand-up pouches with clear windows show the product; resealable zippers keep it fresh after the first open.
Best for dry, low-oil products. Very oily snacks need a grease-resistant spec — ask first.

Compostable Coffee & Tea Packaging
The texture specialty buyers already expect
Rice paper coffee bags with a one-way degassing valve fit specialty roasters whose customers read packaging as a quality signal. Available in side gusset and flat bottom structures from 250g to 1kg+. Tea brands get the same premium presentation with compostable messaging that survives scrutiny.
For coffee, always spec the degassing valve — fresh roast releases CO2 for days.
Coffee Packaging

- Side gusset or flat bottom
- 250g to 2kg capacity

What Rice Paper Bags Are NOT
Before you order, know the trade-offs:
- NOTplastic-free by default. Rice paper is the outer layer of a laminate. The certified compostable build (PLA or cellophane liner, EN 13432 / ASTM D6400) is a specific spec — if you need the claim on your pack, say so up front, because a standard plastic liner under rice paper is not compostable.
- NOTa full barrier with a window. A clear window helps sell the product but slightly reduces moisture and oxygen protection where the film is cut. Coffee with a valve is fine; highly oxygen-sensitive products should skip the window.
- NOTfor liquids or wet products. Rice paper pouches are for dry goods — coffee, tea, nuts, snacks, powders. For juice, puree, or sauces, use spout pouches instead.

Coffee Packaging Engineering & Valve Testing
Roasting coffee releases carbon dioxide and is extremely sensitive to oxygen. We validate our degassing valve release pressure, OTR/WVTR barrier, and heat seal strength to ensure coffee aroma protection and long-term shelf life.
MOCON OTR Barrier Test
Tested under ASTM D3985 to preserve coffee aromatics and lock out oxygen.
GC-MS Solvent Residue
Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry guarantees zero odor transfer into coffee beans.
Heat Seal Strength (ASTM F88)
Optimized seal strength to support heavy 1kg coffee bags without seam ruptures.
Valve Seating Pressure
Tested pressure release to expel internal CO₂ while maintaining a hermetic oxygen seal.
Puncture Test (ASTM F1306)
Prevents whole roasted coffee beans from piercing the inner laminate layers.
VFFS Line Speed Match
Sliding friction coefficient optimized for high-speed automatic bagging lines.
Packaging Transformation for Rice Paper Bags | Achieve Pack Compostable Pouches
