Industries We Serve
Coffee Roasters
Coffee packaging is a core part of Holden Pak’s business.
Packaging can be designed around coffee freshness, degassing, shelf life, filling method and brand requirements. Options include high-barrier structures, one-way valves, resealable closures, custom printing and more sustainable materials.

Beverage Brands
Packaging solutions include cups, lids, films, sleeves and other formats for hot and cold beverages.
Material choice depends on drink temperature, filling method, transport and market requirements.

Food Brands
Holden Pak supplies flexible, paper and box packaging for dry food, snacks, bakery products, takeaway food and other food applications.
Packaging is selected based on shelf life, moisture, oil, oxygen and other product needs.

Beauty Brands
Custom pouches, boxes and paper packaging can be developed around the product size, protection requirements and desired finish.

Pet Brands
Pet food and treat packaging can include high-barrier structures, resealable zippers, custom sizes and printed designs.

Retail Brands
Retail packaging includes custom bags, boxes, paper packaging, mailers and other branded formats.

Coffee Packaging Expertise
Coffee packaging needs to do more than hold the product.
Depending on the coffee, packaging may need to:
Protect against oxygen
Protect against moisture
Block light
Release CO₂ after roasting
Maintain freshness
Work with filling equipment
Seal reliably
Support repeat opening and closing
Holden Pak helps coffee roasters choose the right bag format, material structure, barrier level, valve and closure.
A high-barrier coffee bag with a one-way valve can support longer shelf life, but the actual shelf life depends on the coffee, residual oxygen, filling process, storage conditions and packaging structure.

Printing Capabilities
Holden Pak supports different printing methods depending on order quantity, artwork and packaging structure.
Capabilities include digital and conventional printing technologies.
The company continues to invest in production and printing equipment, including the HP Indigo 200K for flexible packaging.
The HP Indigo 200K helps produce clear details and consistent colours in shorter and multi-design production runs.
Holden Pak’s printing team includes specialists with more than 10 years of experience.
Colour management can involve:
Pantone references
CIELAB
ΔE measurement
Colour matching
Registration control
Press-side adjustment
Approved physical samples
Printing method is selected according to the project rather than using one method for every order.

Materials
Material recommendations depend on what the packaging needs to do.
Common options include:
High-Barrier Structures
Used where stronger protection from oxygen, moisture or light is required.
These may include multi-layer films and aluminum foil structures.

Recyclable Mono-Material
Packaging made mainly from one type of plastic, such as PE or PP.
Mono-material structures can make recycling easier where suitable collection and recycling systems exist.
They are not automatically the best solution for every product because barrier and performance requirements vary.

FSC-Certified Paper
Paper sourced through FSC-certified supply chains.
Paper may still require coatings or additional layers when moisture, grease or oxygen protection is needed.

PCR Content
Packaging containing post-consumer recycled material.
Suitability depends on the product, application and local regulations.

Compostable Materials
Certain packaging can use certified compostable materials.
Compostable does not mean the material will automatically break down in home compost or landfill. Many structures require industrial composting facilities.

Sustainability
Holden Pak approaches sustainability as a practical packaging decision rather than a single material claim.
We help customers:
Reduce unnecessary material
Improve recyclability
Choose lower-impact structures
Use recyclable mono-materials where suitable
Use FSC-certified paper
Introduce PCR content where suitable
Reduce unnecessary packaging layers
Choose the right packaging size
Understand local recycling and regulatory requirements
The packaging still needs to protect the product properly.
Holden Pak also operates a materials R&D function in Guangzhou, China, supporting material development and changing market requirements.
The company supports environmental projects and works with environmental partners, including contributions to 1% for the Planet.
Sustainability claims should always be considered together with the material, product, market and available recycling infrastructure.

Certifications and Documentation
Holden Pak maintains certifications and supporting documentation relating to quality, materials, food safety and responsible sourcing.
Examples include:
FSC
BRCGS
ISO 9001
Material test reports
Food-contact documentation
Supporting compliance documents
Audit records
Where required, verified and traceable certificates or supporting documents can be provided for relevant products and materials.
Important: FDA compliance documentation should not be described as an “FDA certification” unless a specific official certification actually applies.
Certification availability depends on the material, product and project.

Holden Pak helps customers understand key packaging, certification, shipping and import requirements for their destination market.
Areas commonly reviewed include:
Food-contact requirements
Material restrictions

Minimum Order Quantity
MOQ varies by product, material, size and printing method.
For example:
Digitally printed stand-up pouches can start from approximately 2,000 pieces.
Other products may have different MOQs.
Customers should provide their required packaging format, quantity and artwork so Holden Pak can confirm the appropriate MOQ.

Multiple Designs in One Order
Multiple designs may be possible within one production order.
This is usually easier when the designs use the same:
Bag size
Material
Structure
Production method
The exact quantity that can be split between designs depends on the product and printing method.

Sampling
Sampling is available before bulk production.
Depending on the project, this may include:
Material samples
Existing product samples
Digital proofs
Printed proofs
Custom physical samples
Prototype packaging
Samples help confirm size, material, structure, print and colour before mass production.

Typical Production Time
Lead time depends on the product, quantity, printing method and current production schedule.
For many custom packaging projects, production and quality checks typically take around one month after specifications and artwork are confirmed.
Sampling and shipping time should be considered separately.
The estimated lead time is confirmed before the order moves into production.

Quality Control
Quality checks can take place throughout production rather than only before shipment.
Depending on the product, checks may include:
Incoming material checks
Colour matching
Print registration
Material thickness
Bag dimensions
Seal quality
Filling tests
Drop tests
Appearance
Quantity
Final inspection
Approved specifications and key production details are recorded to help maintain consistency on repeat orders.

Production
Holden Pak started on the factory floor, and manufacturing remains central to the company.
Production capabilities cover processes such as:
Printing
Material handling
Lamination
Converting
Bag making
Forming
Sealing
Finishing
Quality inspection
Packing
Production method depends on the packaging type.
Holden Pak continues to upgrade production equipment and quality-control processes to improve consistency and efficiency.

A typical project may include:
Understanding the product and packaging requirements
Selecting materials and structure
Quotation
Artwork and prepress checks

Shipping options depend on:
Destination
Order size
