The Amcor 'Vento' is a new kind of coffee bean bag packaging that will enable consumers to control the level of aeration that's possible to help extend the product's shelf life. The packaging allows the gas that is emitted from the coffee beans and grounds to be emitted through the built-in vent. This helps to extend the life of the coffee by allowing it to breathe better than traditional packaging designs.
The Amcor 'Vento' coffee bean bags feature a valve that is 87% more lightweight compared to other hard valves that are present on existing coffee packaging. What's more, the valve is capable of being utilized by consumers once the product has been purchased to help extend the product life with ease.
