Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on how you plan to sell your coffee. Stand-up pouches are great for retail shelves, flat-bottom bags offer a premium look with strong structure, and gusset bags work well for bulk or wholesale weights. We’re happy to help you choose the right fit.

We can make any size or shape bag you would like.

Bag sizes are based on volume, not weight. Fill weight can vary by roast level and bean density. As a general guide, our bags are commonly used for 4oz, 6oz, 10–12oz, 1lb, and 2lb fills. We can send samples to help you confirm your perfect size.

Yes—most coffee bags work for both whole bean and ground coffee. Just keep in mind that ground coffee releases CO₂ differently, so using a degassing valve is especially important for maintaining freshness.

Material choice depends on your roasting style, shelf life goals, and sustainability preferences. We offer kraft paper, metalized films, matte and gloss laminates, recyclable PE, and compostable films. Our team can recommend the best structure for freshness, durability, and branding.

If you're packaging freshly roasted coffee, yes. A degassing valve lets CO₂ escape while keeping oxygen out—preserving flavor and preventing bags from swelling or bursting.

Yes. Most custom coffee bags allow full control of valve placement, zipper style, tear notches, and panel layout.

Yes. Whether you’re switching due to cost, quality, or lead times, we can help match your previous specs or recommend upgraded materials. We’ll walk through bag size, structure, valve placement, and artwork setup to make the transition easy.

200 pieces. It’s imperative to note that MOQ and unit pricing go hand-in-hand though. By increasing your order, you often reduce your cost per unit significantly. The right decision depends on your forecasted demand and what makes the most financial sense for your business.

Yes—many roasters print multiple designs (e.g., Espresso, House Blend, Decaf) in one run using a shared color palette. This helps keep costs down while giving your brand a consistent, professional look. Each SKU must be at least 200 pieces.

There is a slight price increase per bag for multiple versions as opposed to single version. The pricing we give you will reflect that.

Absolutely. We provide print templates, dielines, and clear setup guidelines. We also offer free design help with our in-house designers. Our team reviews every file before production to ensure color, bleed, and layout are print-ready.

Printing artwork should be vectorized and in PDF or AI format.

We’l get you a printing proof of your artwork within 24-48 hours.

Absolutely. You can choose matte, gloss, soft-touch, spot UV, metallic effects, or even holographic accents on custom printed coffee bags. We’ll walk you through what’s possible for your design.

Please design using CMYK or Pantone (Spot) colors. RGB colors can look different when converted for print since it’s really only for digital representation, so it’s best to work in print-ready color modes from the start.

Colors often appear different in print because screens use RGB light (bright, backlit color), while printed bags use CMYK ink on physical materials like kraft paper or matte film. Every material absorbs ink differently, which can slightly shift how a color looks.

If your order is over 10,000 pieces, your order will be printed in a rotogravure method which uses plates. The price for the plates will be included in the per bag price we provide. For under 10,000 pieces, your order will be printed digitally and there are no plates.

Yes! We offer recyclable PE, compostable PLA, and traditional multi-layer structures. If sustainability matters to your brand, we’ll guide you toward the right material and explain how—and where—the bags can be properly disposed of.

No. If recyclable or compostable materials are requested, the attached accessories will also be made of recyclable or compostable materials. For recyclable, they are made out of PE. For compostable, they are made out of PLA/PBAT.

Our standard compostable bags are industrially compostable. They require high times and a specific microbiome to break down. If you’re looking for a biodegradable or home compostable option, please ask your sales rep for the material specs.

We offer two shipping options —  expedited (air) and standard (sea). Estimated shipping time (in addition to production time) is 2-3 weeks for air shipping and 5-6 weeks for sea.

When we send over pricing, the pricing will include whichever option you select.

Depending on the order size and program, we can store custom-printed inventory and ship it out as needed. This helps manage space and cash flow for high-volume roasters.

We do not offer returns. Please reach out to your sales rep if thereare any issues with your order and we’ll do our best to make it right!
