Coffee, Tea and Drinks Packaging

Packaging for Roasters and Tea Brands

Coffee and tea are bought with the eyes and the nose. A customer choosing between two bags of beans will often pick the one with the clearer story: origin, roast level, tasting notes and a look that matches the price. Good packaging makes that information easy to read while keeping the product fresh.

Roasted coffee gives off gas for days after roasting, so coffee bags usually have a one-way valve that lets gas out without letting air in. Tin-tie and zip closures let customers reseal the bag after opening. For subscription roasters and online sellers, a slim letterbox-friendly coffee box protects the bag in the post and fits through most doors.

Boxes for Coffee, Pods and Hot Chocolate

Coffee boxes hold bags, tins or ground coffee for retail and gift sets. Pod and capsule boxes are sized to the number of capsules and often include a tear strip or easy-open tab so customers can dispense pods one at a time. Hot chocolate boxes suit gift packs with sachets, mugs or marshmallows.

Subscription boxes for pods are designed to be posted regularly, so they need to be strong, light and quick to pack. Gift sets often use a tray and lid or a magnetic box. If you sell compatible capsules, a printed coffee pod box with a clear count on the front makes reordering easy for customers.

Tea Cartons and Drinks Packaging

Tea cartons hold loose leaf, bags or pyramids, often with an inner bag or foil pouch to keep the tea fresh. A clean front panel with the blend name, and side panels for brewing guidance, help customers choose. Tea brands often print a different colour for each blend on the same box shape.

For drinks, we make cartons for chocolate milk and juices, carriers for cans and bottles, and boxes for multipacks of energy drinks and sparkling water. Carriers make it easy to take several drinks at once and give the brand a second surface to print on. A printed can carrier turns a four-pack into a single, easy-to-carry unit.

Freshness, Print and Ordering

Coffee and tea are sensitive to air, light and moisture, so we combine outer cartons with inner bags or foil pouches where needed. Bags are printed in full colour across the whole surface, and cartons can have foil, embossing or a soft-touch finish for premium blends. Space for a roast date or batch label can be left blank for you to stamp or sticker.

Every order starts with a free design proof. Minimums are quoted per job, so small roasters can order short runs for single-origin coffees or limited blends. Tea brands often start with a printed tea box and reuse the same shape across their whole range.
