For many coffee roasters, 250g is one of the most common retail pack sizes. A practical starting point for a 250g stand up pouch is around 140 × 220 + 80 mm, but the final size depends on coffee density, valve use, zipper placement, and the desired shelf appearance.
Whole beans usually take more volume than ground coffee, so the same filling weight can require a slightly larger pouch. If you want a premium shelf look, leave enough headspace above the product and avoid making the pack look overfilled.
For 250g coffee, common material choices include PET / VMPET / PE or PET / AL / PE. These structures help protect aroma and reduce oxygen and light exposure. A degassing valve is also commonly used for freshly roasted coffee.
Before final production, test the pouch with your actual coffee. Density, roast level, and filling method can change the real fit. Use the calculator as a starting point, then request a dieline before artwork layout.
