HOW OUR PROCESS WORKS
Whether you send us your roasted coffee or have us roast for you, we’re dedicated to delivering the most flavorful and fresh coffee that strictly adheres to your desired flavor profiles. For every batch we roast and package, we use our modern facility, featuring only the best and latest industry tools and machinery available, to achieve our customer’s high standards. We’re proud that our facility has achieved the following certifications — FDA Registered and Approved, USDA Organic Certified, Kosher Certified, and Fair Trade Certified. Before packaging your coffee, our team first creates samples of your product to ensure and achieve the perfect flavor profiles. During this process we can begin with your roasted or green beans, or coffee from our inventory of available beans procured from all around the world.- STEP 1: Choose your service level – Roast-to-Order, Co-Packaging, or Toll-Roasting.
- STEP 2: Roast-to-Order: We can create the perfect coffee just for you from our inventory of available beans. Co-Pack: Send us five pounds of roasted coffee and your optimal brewing instructions (coffee:water ratio), and we’ll directly co-pack your coffee. Toll-Roast: Send five pounds of your green coffee and a recipe for roasting, including the coffee’s region and grade, drop time and temperature, and roast color number. Want to benchmark a competitor’s coffee? No problem, simply send us samples and our sensory panel will match it.
- STEP 3: We’ll then create in-house samples to match your specified roast, taste, and brew profiles. Our sensory panel will determine the taste, quality, and extraction levels, making recommendations as necessary. We use standard SCA cupping protocols for all of our sampling.
- STEP 4: Once our sensory panel has approved the best possible product, we will send you free samples so you can taste and provide any additional feedback. When it’s time to package your finished product, we will lock-in your approved specifications and create a delicious new product you’ll be proud to showcase as your own.
How to Create Your Own Custom Coffee Bags
First impressions impact every part of your business. You can’t do them over again, and they set the groundwork for your business’s relationship going forward.
Packaging is the branding equivalent of a first impression. Your product’s packaging determines its first impression with potential customers. It makes no difference whether your product waits for customers on a shelf at a grocer’s or gets handed out at a brand launch event. The packaging needs to convince the customer of the quality of the product sealed inside.
In this guide, we’ll discuss how creating your own custom coffee bags is a great way to make a strong first impression and walk you through each step of the process.
Why Should You Create Your Own Custom Coffee Bags?
Creating your own custom coffee bags contributes to the user’s experience of the coffee itself. Consider how you want your customers to encounter your product. Here are a few reasons why custom printed coffee bags are the right way to go:
- Increase brand recognition. When custom printed coffee bags hold your coffee, you let the consumer know that thought, time, and care went into the blend. Cultivate a design that stands out and shows off your company’s personality.
- Expand your coffee brand. Once you’ve established your brand, you can start creating even more custom coffee bags for new product lines. If you have a new idea for a coffee blend or want to create some seasonal offerings, you can continue to cohesively build your brand.
- Offer your customers increased convenience. Paying special attention to the way you present your coffee will help your consumer enjoy your coffee in whichever way works best for them. Offering them cups for Keurig, pods for Nespresso, coffee portion packs, or wholesale and retail bags gives them the chance to continue making coffee the way they already do, but with your particular blend.
- Give your product clarity. When you custom design your own coffee packaging bags, you can give exact instructions about the best way to prepare your coffee. Giving guidance on the precise water-to-coffee ratio and suggestions for the brewing process helps consumers enjoy the product the way you intended. This clarity gives them the best chance to taste the coffee under ideal conditions — as though you made it for them yourself.
Once you’ve considered the benefits of custom coffee bags, think about some situations where having them could be useful. There are many circumstances where a custom coffee bag will serve your company well. Some of these times include when you:
- Launch a new store brand. Sometimes, you decide to branch off from your current offerings to create a new blend of coffee to add to your beverage offerings. Carry over elements of your branding and incorporate those elements into the bags you plan to sell online or in stores.
- Expand your current offerings. If you already have an established brand and want to add signature coffee to the mix, continue your current brand with your new blend. When you add coffee to your product line, you expand your market for two reasons: You give your current customers another product to enjoy, and when coffee drinkers find your coffee, they also get introduced to your brand.
- Celebrate a special company event. When your company celebrates an important milestone, you want to think through every detail of the event planning. Include the presentation of your coffee in this planning. When you have custom bags to celebrate the event, you demonstrate to your guests how you thought through every step of the process. You show how you put care into every element of preparation. This attention to detail will not go unnoticed.
- Create a limited promotional item. When you develop a limited-edition line of a new coffee blend, you need the brew to stand out on the shelves. Catch your potential consumer’s attention with a bag that continues your current branding and matches the quality of the brew inside.
- Thank your clients for their patronage. In business, it’s vital to treat your clients with respect and kindness. Remind them how grateful you are for their support and trust with a portion pack coffee or limited edition single serve cups to thank them for their business. When they display the coffee in their company kitchen or break room, every time someone goes to enjoy that coffee, they are reminded of exactly who gave it to them.
