Through patented laser technology and a pressure-sensitive vent, this fully recyclable, pre-applied, oil-free solution ensures longer shelf life and superior coffee flavor.

Bold innovation for better coffee

The Benefits.

  • Superior Performance

    Our laser-enabled, multilayered vent structure locks in coffee flavor and aroma, while locking out oxygen and water vapors.

  • Operational Efficiency

    PrimeVent comes pre-applied in a roll stock, removing the labor of assembling multiple components.

  • Sustainable Packaging

    PrimeVent’s lightweight, compact design uses 96% less plastic compared to a traditional plastic button valve.

  • Design Flexibility

    PrimeVent can be integrated into a variety of packaging designs, and placed anywhere on the bag.

  • Shared Commitment to Flavor

    Did you know a traditional valve is the weakest part of the bag? PrimeVent protects the aromatics and taste roasters work so hard to achieve.

“The introduction of this vent technology has revolutionized the taste and aroma of coffee, marking a significant breakthrough. Coupled with its reduced plastic usage and the convenience of pre-vent packaging rolls, it has established a new benchmark in the post pack coffee degassing process.”
