Custom coffee bags from 1,000 units: how it works

There comes a time when your coffee brand needs to take the leap: move beyond adhesive labels and transition to a bag printed with your design. Here's how the customization process works and what you need to consider.

What are custom bags?

They are bags manufactured and printed specifically with your brand: your logo, your colors, your design, in the format and material you choose. Unlike a stock bag with a label, here the design is an integral part of the bag itself.

Difference between stock bag with label and printed bag

A stock bag with an adhesive label is perfect for starting out: quick, economical, and with no high minimum order. A printed bag, on the other hand, offers a completely professional and cohesive finish, ideal when your brand already has volume and you want a consolidated image.

Customization from 1,000 units

Digital printing makes customization profitable from 1,000 units, an accessible threshold for most growing roasters. For much larger quantities, gravure printing offers a better cost per unit for large runs.

When digital printing is suitable and when gravure printing is suitable

Digital printing is ideal for runs of 1,000 to several thousand units, with great design flexibility and no plate costs. Gravure printing pays off for very large runs, where the cost per bag drops significantly even if the initial investment is higher.

What you need to order your custom bags

To prepare your quote, we need: the design or logo, the measurements or format (250 g, 500 g, 1 kg...), the quantity, the desired finish (matte, glossy, soft touch), and if you want a valve, zip closure, window, or die-cut. The more information, the more accurate the quote.

Why you shouldn't just look at the price per bag

A cheap bag can end up being expensive if it doesn't protect the coffee well: if it lacks a high barrier or valve, the product deteriorates, and that affects your brand. Advice is key to choosing the right combination of material, format, and finishes according to your coffee and your sales channel.
