About Us
At Package Joes, our mission is simple: to help coffee roasters showcase their beans with packaging that preserves freshness and elevates their brand. We started in 2022 after noticing how many small-batch roasters were stuck with generic, uninspired packaging that didn’t reflect the quality of what was inside. As coffee lovers ourselves, we knew there had to be a better way, so we created it. Beyond packaging, we offer a curated selection of essential items for coffee shops, ensuring you have everything you need to deliver exceptional experiences to your patrons. We proudly serve specialty roasters, boutique cafés, and emerging coffee brands who understand that the right packaging isn’t just a container—it’s part of the experience.

Why Joe?
Here at Package Joes we’re a casual bunch, so we decided to take a lighthearted approach to our name that everyone can understand. The origin of the phrase “cup of joe” is somewhat debated, but the most popular theory traces it back to Josephus “Joe” Daniels, who served as Secretary of the Navy under President Woodrow Wilson. In 1914, Daniels banned alcohol on U.S. Navy ships, making coffee the strongest drink available to sailors. As a result, disgruntled sailors began referring to their coffee as a “cup of Joe” in sarcastic tribute to Daniels. Another theory suggests that “Joe” is a simplified form of “jamoke,” a slang term derived from a blend of “java” and “mocha.” Regardless of its exact origin, “cup of Joe” remains a beloved American colloquialism for coffee.
