Tea is one of the most popular beverages in the world, especially when it comes to high-quality teas that are always in limited supply. Tea packages come in all shapes and sizes, from pouches to loose leaf tins. Beyond quality, packaging for tea also assists its storage, distribution, and sales across countries.
The appropriate tea packages allow customers to make easy decisions about what type of tea they want. Most consumers do not know what types of teas there are and so purchase them based on clothes; however, if these people actually researched the types of teas available from the different companies instead of just going off appearances alone then they would stand a much higher chance at choosing one that fits their needs.
Don't settle for a tea packaging machine that isn't good for your business. We'll make it easy for you to choose the right one.
Types Of Tea Packing Machines
Choosing the perfect tea packaging machine can be pretty difficult, but don't worry - we've got you covered! This article will provide you with a step-by-step guide to different tea packaging machines for the creative packaging of your tea products.
Single-Serve Green Tea Bag Packaging Machine
A tea bag refers to a single serving pouch or a sachet of tea that can be steeped into one cup. Due to its convenience and portability, it is popular among most consumers. Tea bags are designed for easy operation and do not require any additional equipment besides the water they are brewed in. They are also served as samples or as an everyday beverage anywhere due to their affordability and ease to use.
Machine Type
Tea bag packaging machines come in two types: Lipton tea bag packaging and pyramid tea packaging. The main difference between these two is that rectangular tea bag machines are better suited for packaging powdered or finely granulated tea. Whereas pyramid tea bag machines are better applicable for packing tea leaves that have a shape.
Operation
Tea packaging machines function in a similar way to vertical form fill sealers. Most of the rolls of film are usually made from inexpensive packaging materials such as filter paper and nylon mesh.
During the entire tea packing process, all of these actions take place very quickly--sometimes simultaneously with a speed of 40-60 bags per minute. The tea bag packing rate depends heavily on machine design and the properties of the tea leaves themselves.
There are many different designs of single-serve tea bags. Rectangular, pyramid or flat, and round shapes, all exist alongside each other. Labels and threads can be added to the design as desired.
Vertical Form Fill Sachets Packing Machines
Individual tea sachets are the cheapest way to package loose tea leaves. Pouches with three or four seals on each side tend to be very common - and also make it easier for people to store them later. Gusseted pouches tend to have a more rigid storage capacity than other varieties of packaging, and hence they are used in tea gift packages.
Machine Type
VFFS sachet packing machines are some of the most popular packaging machines for many varieties of flexible bags, including pillow bags, small sachets, and gusseted pouches. While it takes up less space than other types of machinery, it doesn't sacrifice quality or effectiveness. It is often used in the tea industry due to its fast speeds and low price point.
The VFFS tea bag filling machine typically uses a large roll of packaging film to produce tea sachets, fill them with tea leaves, and seal them. Based on the various types of green teas being packaged, this machine can be outfitted with various feeding mechanisms depending on what type of particle size is desired.
For instance, regular small tea particles can be measured using a volumetric filler; matcha powder would use an auger filling mechanism; or for larger leaf shapes (typically for black/oolong varieties), a multi-head scale would measure these quantities accurately.
The VFFS Tea Bag Packaging Machine can pack from 30-70 packs per minute based on the required packing weight, specific leaf properties, and other business needs - all while maintaining quality standards needed at each level within production: hand sorting & grading batches A grade+ B grade+, etc).
Premade Pouch Filling and Sealing Machine For Loose Tea Leaves
The attractive pre-made pouch is crafted out of sturdy material for an eye-catching shelf display. It also comes with a removable, resealable zipper for open-and-close flexibility and multiple pickup options.
Machine Type
There are two varieties of filling and sealing machines for packing tea: Rotary and Linear.
Due to their circular design, rotary pouch filling machines occupy less floor space because their starting point is located just next to the endpoint.
As linear filling and sealing systems operate in a straight line, hence they take more space because start and end points are located at opposite ends of the unit. But both rotary and linear pieces of equipment can pack all varieties of tea: whole leaf, broken leaf, and tea powder.
If you want to increase your sales and market share, Premade Pouch Packaging Machines are the most effective solution. Designed specifically for tea producers, they feature stand-up pouches which promote shelf impact and allow consumers to see the product clearly.
