The present invention relates to a novel type of beverage infusion package which allows the infusion product contained inside or supported thereon to be identified by a printed logo or brand. In particular the infusion product is coffee or tea. The beverage infusion package is formed of paper or other non-woven material used for beverage packages and can be used in a whole range of coffee and tea beverage filtration packaging such as tea bags, hard pods, soft pods, coffee pouches and systems in which a container incorporates the paper with the tea, coffee or other infusion beverage. The beverage package may be a “one-cup” style bag containing sufficient infusion material, eg tea, for a single serving or may be a “multi-brew” style bag containing sufficient material for more than one serving. The present invention enables printing to be applied to the package without any deleterious effects to the integrity of the package and without the risk of introducing hazardous materials into the product.
A paper web of porous, fibrous, material suitable for producing a beverage infusion package wherein the paper web has a grammage of 9 to 40 gm−2 and wherein the paper web includes a printed region bearing printed matter having a printing ink derived from an infusion beverage.
