Plastic Components
No external components required for CO2 venting.
Micro-channel sealing. Zero valves.
TiMELESS® uses patented ultrasonic wave sealing to form micro-channels directly into the packaging film seal — allowing CO₂ to escape naturally while blocking oxygen ingress. No external components. No added plastic. No compromise on quality.
Eliminate valve procurement, storage, and installation. Coffee can be packed immediately post-roast — reducing labor and material costs significantly.
Remove dependency on specialty valve components and mitigate supply chain disruptions with a self-contained, integrated solution
Already adopted at scale by Doutor Coffee, PostCoffee (Japan's largest coffee subscription service), and Sarutahiko Coffee — now coming to North America.
Available as pre-made bags or as an add-on unit for existing VFFS packaging lines. Works with gusset bags, flat bags, and stand-up pouches.
