    Unwrapped Filter “pillow style” Bags

    These single chamber filter bags come without a string and tag. This tea bag style is suitable for products that are being produced in bulk (e.g. 50 count box, 100 count bag, 200 count case or any other bulk quantity), being marketed as a “minimal packaging” product (no string/tag and overwrap) or where the outside storage carton/tin/bag is primarily used as the medium for unit sale. Tea grades that successfully work well in production range from tea bag grade to cut-sift grade.

    Filter Bags with String/Tag and Overwrap

    These single chamber filter bags with string/tag and an overwrap combine convenience and functionality to the end-user. Both the string/tag are friction heat sealed onto the filter bags without any staples or loose knots. You can custom design and print the overwrap and tag for us to package your product, or we can provide our standard stock overwrap and tag (white or clear) for packaging your product. Despite the wide spread usage of this tea bag style in foodservice applications, tea bags with string/tag and an overwrap are becoming more commonplace in other areas too such as gifts and grocery. Tea grades that successfully work well in production range from tea bag grade to cut-sift grade.

  • Three small sealed packets arranged side by side on a dark brown wood surface: a clear plastic packet on the left, a white paper packet with a vertical white stripe in the center, and a white paper packet on the right.

    Medium to Large Brew Bags and Frak Packs - Iced Teas or Custom Ingredients

    These filter brew bags or frak packs hold anywhere from 5 grams to 6 ounces of teas or herbs and are produced without a string/tag or overwrap. Depending on net weight or density of the product, the size of the filter brew bag or frak pack will vary. The primary application of these filter brew bags and frak packs are for iced teas in the foodservice industry. However, other customers use this for aroma therapy, spa treatments as well as in gift baskets. Tea grades that successfully work well in production range from tea bag grade to whole leaf grade. Our standard filter brew bags are packaged in an off-white color filter bag, while frak packs are packaged in either white/clear bags allowing custom labeling outside these packages.

    Bulk Pyramid Mesh Filter Bags

    This style of filter bag provides the ability to package cut-sift to whole leaf teas/herbs for ultimate aroma, flavor extraction and leaf/flower infusion. Pyramid mesh filter bags can be produced in bulk without an overwrap in 2 formats: with a string/tag or without. Our stock tag style is a generic printed “TEA” tag in white/green color. You may custom print tags with your logo requiring a large volume print run with the printer. Additionally, our pyramid mesh filter bags are available in a compostable non-GMO material. Production speeds of pyramid mesh filter bags are much slower than standard pillow bags while material costs much higher. Despite these constraints, this format has become popular amongst cafeterias, restaurants, food stores or coffee houses looking to offer a high-end product.

    Pyramid Mesh Filter Bags with Overwrap

    Go an additional step in appeal with this style of filter bag providing convenience and functionality with the ability to package cut-sift to whole leaf teas/herbs for ultimate aroma, flavor extraction and leaf/flower infusion. Pyramid mesh filter bags with an overwrap can be produced in 2 formats: with a string/tag or without. Our stock overwrap is white and our tag style is a generic printed “TEA” tag in white/green color. You may custom print overwrap and tags with your logo requiring a large volume print run with the printer. Additionally, our pyramid mesh filter bags are available in a compostable non-GMO material. Production speeds of pyramid mesh filter bags are much slower than standard pillow bags while material costs much higher. Despite these constraints, this format is sought after by several industries today.

    Bulk Loose Leaf Teas/Herbs Packing

    Not all tea or herbs are packaged in a tea bag or pyramid mesh filter. Loose leaf teas and herbs are widely sold “loose/bulk” across the country in tins, stand up pouches or tin-tie bags. When a tea bag or pyramid mesh filter is not the answer, consider packaging your product in a “bulk” format maintaining the integrity of the delicate leaves, flowers and herbs. We can produce in packages as small as 100 grams to large 5 lbs bags. Our stock packaging includes stand up pouches, tin tie bags and bulk cases. Our stock labels are white and you may also custom print color labels and provide us for your orders.

  • Several packaged food boxes arranged on a conveyor belt in a manufacturing or processing facility. The boxes are wrapped in clear plastic and feature orange, green, and white labels with text including 'WILD HONEY BEES' and 'ORGANIC'.

    Box/Carton Overwrap

    We have the ability to either “shrink wrap” or “cello wrap” your cartons/boxes for complete care, integrity and tamper seal. But if you consider not overwrapping your carton, we provide a cost saving in materials and labor, as well as peace of mind in tamper sealing the package for you. The difference between a shrink film and a cello film is that the former is a “stretchy” material that “shrinks” on any package shape (round, square, rectangle etc.) while the latter a more precise film that prefers corners like a square or rectangular package. Both films are available in a clear form, provide tamper seal and product integrity, though the cello film provides an additional benefit of oxygen and moisture barrier. Additionally, if you have tea bags with an overwrap, do you really need an overwrap film for your carton/box? Food for thought, and we can certainly provide the right guidance you need for your product.

    Custom Blending and Ingredient Sourcing

    Having 3 blending machines enables us to fulfill small to large volume blending requirements. Custom blend as little as 100 lbs as minimum, subject to review of ingredients, volume, and machine capability. Our scalability to help you start out small with a low blending requirement to upscale to a higher level goes without saying. Whether you are considering blending powders, teas, delicate herbs/flowers, extracts or essential oils, our blending expertise will provide utmost care and professionalism in flavor management and product development. Additionally, with our direct to garden access to family owned organic tea gardens in India, and our partnerships with numerous small farmer estates/gardens worldwide, our reach for ingredient sourcing surpasses most customers’ needs. And with over 300+ in-house flavors to choose from, why re-invent the wheel when you can rely on our expertise.

    Milling/Sifting Services

    When the tea/herbs/botanicals are not the right size for production requirements, we can mill/sift the ingredients to sort out usable product vs. non-usable product. Approximately 10%-50% of the ingredient is lost (varies by ingredient and grade) as fine powder or dust during the milling process. Sifting is offered as a second solution to sort out the different grades we could possibly use or salvage, where an additional 5%-35% of ingredient is lost (varies by ingredient and grade) again. We strongly recommend you source the right grade of teas/herbs/botanicals either from your suppliers or from us (from our in-house stock of ingredients) for your production needs to avoid additional time delay and labor charges.

    Custom Packaging & Printing

    Bring your brand to life with custom packaging designed to make a lasting impression. We work with trusted third-party printing partners, both domestically and abroad, to produce high-quality, food-grade packaging in a variety of formats, including cartons, pouches, labels, tags, sachets, and more. Whether you have a finished design or need guidance along the way, we'll help coordinate the printing process to ensure your packaging reflects your brand and is ready for production.

    Steam Treatment

    Enhance product safety and quality with our advanced steam treatment process. Using natural steam and heat technology, we help reduce microbial contamination while preserving product integrity and packaging. Our process is suitable for a wide range of packaging formats, allowing products to remain sealed and ready for distribution.

Tea Sourcing

At Davidson’s Organics, we source premium organic teas directly from trusted growers around the world. With 5 decades of experience and long-standing relationships with certified organic tea gardens, we ensure exceptional quality, consistency, and traceability from origin to finished product.

Your partnership with Davidson’s will become your “one-stop-shop” with our direct sourcing of teas, herbs and spices, as well as our dual location (India and USA) co-packing flexibility. Unlike traditional co-packers, brokers, wholesalers and distributors, who only help source ingredients and connect you with various suppliers requiring you to spend your own time and effort in due diligence, Davidson’s in-house and knowledgeable Private Label team will make that process shorter and easier for you. We will literally, hold your hand and support you all the way from an initial phone inquiry to a product delivered on the shelf.
