Revolutionizing Coffee Packaging in Japan with MTPAK Coffee

MTPAK Coffee Japan: A New Dawn for Coffee Packaging

In April 2025, MTPAK COFFEE JAPAN officially launched as a brand, becoming the exclusive distributor of MTPAK COFFEE in Japan. Based in Shanghai, China, MTPAK COFFEE has been manufacturing a diverse array of packaging materials—including takeaway cups and coffee bean bags—since its inception in 2015. With a vision to enhance the coffee packaging experience in Japan, MTPAK COFFEE JAPAN has embarked on a mission to introduce innovative, customizable packaging solutions.

For many years, the coffee packaging landscape in Japan has been dominated by conventional designs that fail to reflect the individuality of various brands. As a result, many roasters were left with little choice but to use generic packaging. Conversely, international markets have enjoyed a vibrant selection of unique, aesthetically pleasing packaging options that effectively highlight brand values and appeal to consumers, often using advanced materials and techniques.

Japanese roasters, who have remained sensitive to global coffee trends, found themselves caught in a frustrating paradox: the desire to utilize such unique packaging while facing the constraints of local manufacturing capacities. However, MTPAK COFFEE JAPAN is stepping in as a crucial facilitator, allowing Japanese coffee roasters to create packaging that is 'more cost-effective,' 'in smaller quantities,' and 'more freely' than ever before.

Bringing Flat Bottom Bags to the Forefront

One of MTPAK's significant advantages lies in its ability to produce flat bottom bags from minimum order quantities, ensuring accessibility for a range of businesses. Additionally, MTPAK does not compromise on the environment; it provides recyclable monomaterial films and compostable films made from biodegradable materials that can be produced in small lots.

Flat bottom bags offer many benefits, including impressive stability, efficiency in transportation, and optimal use of space. Despite these advantages, their adoption in Japan has been hindered by a lack of local manufacturing plants and a requirement for large production runs. MTPAK COFFEE JAPAN is harnessing cutting-edge digital printing technology and low-quantity laminate manufacturing equipment to allow for custom flat bottom bags starting from just 2,000 pieces—a notable reduction from the conventional minimum runs of 20,000.

To further encourage roasters to embrace flat bottom bags, MTPAK offers over 60 standard bag options through their online store. Specific bags equipped with valves or zippers, designed for coffee beans, are available in units of 100, swiftly shipped from a domestic warehouse.

Our mission is to deliver highly functional packaging that respects both the quality of the beans and environmental considerations to all involved in the coffee industry in Japan.

Creating an Easy and Reliable Consulting Experience

In the past, dealing with overseas manufacturers usually required communication in English or Chinese. Moreover, packaging directly used for food entails various unique attributes and specialized processing, making the importation process complex and cumbersome due to necessary documentation and procedures. To streamline these operations, expertise in various business realms and a solid relationship with plants are essential.

MTPAK COFFEE JAPAN boasts a legacy as a packaging expert with over 260 years of experience, offering a wealth of knowledge in manufacturing, distribution, and design. Our established history guarantees that coffee roasters can navigate the packaging manufacturing environment with confidence.

We invite potential partners to visit our packaging showroom in Asakusa, Tokyo, where an extensive array of samples is available for examination, complemented by personal consultations. For those who cannot visit, we offer remote meetings via telephone or online platforms. Our team also handles all documentation relating to importation, ensuring a smooth process for our clients.

Understanding the need for meticulousness when it comes to branding, we prioritize a careful, respectful approach to partnership with coffee businesses.
