Barcelona has emerged as the unofficial capital of the "Third Wave" coffee movement in Southern Europe. From the roasting clusters in Poblenou to the artisan cafes of Gràcia and Eixample, the demand for high-barrier, aesthetically superior coffee pouches has skyrocketed.
Local Barcelona roasters are no longer just looking for a bag; they are seeking a brand statement. With Spain's strict 2023 Plastic Tax regulations and the EU's Green Deal, the transition toward Mono-material Recyclable PE and Compostable Kraft structures is not just a trend—it is a legal necessity for Catalan businesses.
Founded in 2011, YPAK operates three state-of-the-art facilities across Hong Kong, Dongguan, and Foshan. As a leading partner for the Barcelona market, we understand that freshness is the soul of coffee. Our Foshan and Dongguan plants are BRCGS Food Safety and ISO 22000:2018 certified, ensuring every pouch meets rigorous global food contact standards with full traceability.
We integrate Swiss WIPF one-way valves as a standard feature. For the specialty coffee roasters in Barcelona, this technology is vital. It allows CO2 to escape while preventing oxygen ingress, maintaining the volatile aromatic compounds of premium beans for up to 18 months.
Our HP Indigo 25K digital press enables Barcelona startups to test the market with seasonal roasts through plate-free, low-MOQ production—delivering photorealistic quality that competes with multi-national brands.

Launched HP INDIGO 25K for ultra-high-definition digital printing.
While local European manufacturers often face high energy costs and long lead times, YPAK provides the efficiency of the China-Pearl River Delta supply chain combined with localized service logic. We offer:
As Barcelona moves toward a circular economy, our recyclable flat-bottom bags made from mono-material PE are becoming the gold standard, replacing traditional multi-layer laminates that were difficult to recycle.
