The coffee bag is your best salesperson. It has to pass the shelf blink test, tell the origin story, and still look good in a subscription box on someone's kitchen counter.
A bag system, not one bag
Specialty roasters release new origins all the time. Redesigning a bag for every drop is slow and expensive. We build a system instead:
- One master layout, colour-coded by origin, roast or line.
- A swap-in label for each new single origin, so a new release takes hours, not weeks.
- Works on any stock: kraft, matte, foil, with valve and zip, custom-printed bags or stickers on stock bags.
