서울의 카페쇼 YPAK 2026: 부스 D343, COEX, 11–11월 14일

YPAK은 제25회 서울 국제 카페 쇼 — 부스 D343에 출품합니다, COEX, 11–11월 14일 2026. 우리가 거기에 있는 이유는 단 하나: to work through the packaging decisions currently stuck, from recyclable structures and barrier levels to short-run economics and the labelling your export markets will ask for. 현재 가지고 있는 파우치와 가장 어색한 질문을 가져가세요.

Meet us at Cafe Show Seoul 2026

Cafe Show Seoul is the event the organiser bills as Asia’s No.1 coffee event, and this year it brings 631 exhibitors and 3,903 brands from 35 countries into Halls A to D at COEX — 37,791 square metres of coffee, 차, bakery, equipment and packaging.

One scheduling note worth knowing before you plan the week: the show has moved. It has been held Thursday to Sunday in previous years; 에 대해 2026 it runs Wednesday 11 to Saturday 14 November. If you have been planning around the old pattern, the dates in your calendar need changing.

스탠드는 발표 일정이 아닌 오픈 테이블로 운영됩니다. 주머니를 들고 올라가세요, a specification or an artwork file and we will go through it there and then.

필수 요소

Taken from the organiser’s official visitor information — worth re-checking against eng.cafeshow.com before you travel.

One practical point: the pre-order window closes on 8 November, three days before the doors open. After that you are buying at the on-site rate — about 12% more on a one-day pass, and the same on an all-day pass.

Four questions we hear most from Korean coffee brands

Short runs and rotating lots: where plate cost actually sits

A roaster working through single-origin lots changes artwork far more often than the packaging itself changes. That turns a print-method question into an economics question: gravure rewards volume and punishes every revision, while digital printing removes the plate cost and moves the cost into the unit price. We will look at your lot cadence — how many SKUs, how often the artwork changes, what minimum quantity you can actually store — and show where the crossover sits for your format.

Drip bags and stick formats: what changes in the structure

Drip bags and stick formats carry a different set of constraints from bean pouches: the filter medium has to sit inside the same sealed envelope, the seal has to hold against a thinner web, and the barrier requirement is driven by how long the portion sits before it is opened rather than by degassing. We will go through the paper and filter options, where the seal window narrows, and what nitrogen flushing changes — including where it does not.

The Korean summer: humidity is the real barrier question

Korea’s summer is hot and humid for weeks at a time, and the rainy season is long enough that storage conditions, not the roastery, end up setting the shelf life. That changes which layers earn their place. We will go through your current structure and identify where moisture barrier can come out without losing shelf life — and where taking it out would be a false saving.

Lots that leave Korea: a second labelling system

Korea runs its own recycling-separation labelling system, and it is not the EU’s harmonised label. A pouch printed for Seoul does not automatically satisfy Brussels, and the reverse is also true — the two mark different things in different formats, and an artwork revision that satisfies one can still fail the other. If part of your volume ships to Europe or North America, bring the market split and we will mark, on your own dieline, where each requirement falls.

If your lots reach Europe, the rulebook has already changed

The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, (우린) 2025/40, 그 이후로 신청했습니다 12 8월 2026, and the PFAS limits for food-contact packaging took effect on the same day. That is not a future deadline — it is the current state of the market, and it is why some specifications that were fine two years ago now need a conversation.

불확실성의 대부분은 규칙이 존재하느냐가 아닙니다, but which rule attaches to which piece of packaging. 두 가지 예시가 사람들을 잡아냅니다.

• 빈 공간. For sales packaging — the retail coffee bag itself — empty space must be reduced to the minimum necessary for functionality from 12 2월 2028, with no fixed percentage set. 그만큼 50% maximum ratio applies to grouped, 운송 및 전자상거래 포장 1 1월 2030, or three years after the implementing act setting the calculation method, 어느 쪽이 더 늦은지. Two different rules, two different dates, routinely confused with each other.
• 라벨링. The harmonised label showing material composition applies from 12 8월 2028, 또는 24 관련 시행법이 발효된 지 몇 달 후입니다, 어느 쪽이 더 늦은지. The material identification codes under Decision 97/129/EC are repealed from 12 8월 2028 and folded into that implementing act. This is an artwork question long before it is a compliance question — which is why it belongs in this year’s revision, not the next one.

There is a harder date behind those. Recyclability grades A, B and C take effect from 1 1월 2030 — 또는 24 months after the delegated acts that set the design-for-recycling criteria, whichever is later — and from 2038 only packaging in grades A or B may be placed on the market. A structure specified today will still be in the market when that second date arrives.

시장 목록과 현재 사양을 가져오세요. 저희는 귀하의 법률 자문이 아닙니다, 하지만 포장재가 정확히 무엇으로 만들어졌는지 알려드릴 수 있습니다, 그리고 각 물질적 선택이 당신이 묻는 의무에 대해 무엇을 의미하는지도 알고 있습니다.

무엇을 가져가야 할까요

한 가지 아이템이면 시작하기에 충분하다. 가지고 있는 것들 중 무엇이든 가져가세요.

한 명의 공급업체, 모든 접점이

YPAK은 커피 브랜드가 필요로 하는 전체 세트를 생산합니다: 밸브와 평평한 바닥 커피백, 사이드 거셋 파우치, 드립백과 매달린 귀주머니, 여과지, 접는 상자와 단단한 선물 상자, 그리고 음료 컵. 생산은 BRCGS와 ISO 인증을 받았습니다 22000.

재료에서는 PFAS가 없는 코팅을 사용합니다, 수성 및 PLA 적층, 재활용 가능성을 위한 고장벽 코팅을 가진 단일 재료 구조, 그리고 인증된 관리 연쇄 문서로 지원되는 소비자 후 재활용 콘텐츠.

한 곳에서 세트를 구매하는 장점은 가격표가 아닙니다. 그게 바로 그 가방이야, 그 상자, the drip bag and the cup share one specification logic and one artwork approval cycle. When labelling rules move in two markets at once, that is the difference between one revision and four.

Let us work it through in Seoul

그럼 미뤄온 포장 관련 질문이 뭔지? A structure that will not recycle where you sell, a barrier that does not hold through the summer, artwork that has to be redone for a second market, a print method that punishes every revision — most of these are cheaper to fix before the next print run than after it.

미리 준비해 두길 원한다면, send a short note with your market split and your current specification, and we will have the relevant samples and figures ready on the stand. 부스 D343, 11–14 November — or reach us any time at Email: Sam@ypak.커피.

여행 전에 알아야 할 두 가지가 있습니다

We only sell inside Korea. 이 스탠드가 우리에게 의미가 있을까요?

예. Short-run economics, 습기 차단, sealing reliability and artwork turnaround are commercial questions in every market. PPWR 논의는 우리가 다룰 수 있는 부분 중 하나입니다, 전부는 아니었다.

몇 분밖에 없으면 어떡하지??

샘플 하나와 질문 하나면 충분해요. 공연에서 유용한 대화 대부분은 바로 그렇게 시작해서 계획보다 길게 이어집니다.
