Why Brands Switch to Teal for Custom Coffee Bags
The packaging industry has a dirty secret: most "custom" packaging companies are middlemen. They take your order, send it to the same factories everyone else uses, and mark it up 40-60%. We work directly with our manufacturing partners and pass those savings to you.
Here's what that means in practice:
- Lower prices. Without the middleman markup, our custom coffee bags typically cost 20-35% less than competitors at the same quality level.
- Real customization. Any size, any shape, any finish. We don't limit you to pre-set templates.
- Material variety. Kraft, SBS, corrugated, rigid board - plus specialty options like holographic, textured, and metallic stocks.
- Small batch friendly. 50 unit minimum. Test a design before committing to thousands.
Materials and Specifications
Choosing the right material is half the battle with custom coffee bags. Here's a quick breakdown of what works for different use cases:
Kraft paperboard (300-400 GSM) gives you that natural, eco-friendly look that consumers love. It's strong enough for most retail products and costs less than coated stocks. Best for: artisan brands, organic products, subscription boxes.
SBS (Solid Bleached Sulfate) is the premium choice. Bright white surface that takes print beautifully, smooth finish, excellent for high-end retail. 280-400 GSM depending on product weight. Best for: cosmetics, luxury goods, food packaging.
Corrugated board (E-flute or B-flute) adds serious structural protection. E-flute is thinner (about 1.5mm) and great for mailer boxes. B-flute (about 3mm) handles heavier items. Best for: e-commerce shipping, fragile products, stacking needs.
Rigid board (1000-2000 GSM) is the luxury option. Thick, sturdy, won't flex. Used for phones, jewelry, premium spirits. More expensive per unit, but the unboxing experience is unmatched.
Printing Options
Every custom coffee bags order gets full-color CMYK printing with soy-based inks. But that's just the starting point:
- Spot UV coating adds a glossy, raised effect to specific elements (logos, text, patterns). Creates contrast against matte backgrounds.
- Foil stamping in gold, silver, rose gold, or custom Pantone metallic colors. Hot foil for sharp detail, cold foil for larger coverage areas.
- Embossing/debossing creates a raised or recessed texture. Combine with foil for a premium look.
- Soft-touch lamination gives a velvety, matte feel. Popular for luxury and cosmetic packaging.
- Window patches let customers see the product inside. Die-cut openings with clear PET film.
Sizing and Structure
We don't do "standard sizes only." Tell us your product dimensions and we'll engineer the box around it. That said, here are common size ranges for custom coffee bags:
- Small: 2x2x1" to 4x4x3" (cosmetics, jewelry, small electronics)
- Medium: 5x5x3" to 8x8x4" (candles, food items, gifts)
- Large: 10x8x4" to 16x12x6" (apparel, multi-item sets, retail displays)
- Custom: literally any dimension you need
Structural options include tuck-end, auto-lock bottom, sleeve-and-tray, magnetic closure, and more. If you're not sure which structure works best, send us your product details and we'll recommend the right option.
Eco-Friendly Options
FSC-certified paper options are available by specification. Our inks are soy-based, not petroleum-based. But if sustainability is a core part of your brand, we can go further:
- 100% recycled content paperboard
- Compostable and biodegradable coatings (replacing standard PE lamination)
- Unbleached, uncoated kraft for zero-chemical-process packaging
- Soy-based adhesives for available with recyclable options by specification construction
We'll also help you add the right recycling symbols and certifications to your packaging so your customers know exactly how to dispose of it.

Pricing
Custom Coffee Bags pricing depends on four factors: size, material, print coverage, and quantity. A basic kraft box with single-color print might run $0.30-0.80/unit at 500 qty. A fully printed SBS box with foil stamping and soft-touch lamination might be $1.50-4.00/unit. Volume discounts start at 500 units and get steeper at 1,000 and 5,000.

Printed coffee bag minimums and where the price moves
Coffee bags print as stand up pouches, flat bottom boxes and side gusset styles in matte or gloss laminate films, with one way degassing valves, tin ties and press to close zippers available. Common capacities cover 250 gram, 12 ounce and 5 pound wholesale sizes within one artwork family.
| Pouch quantity | Film and fitting guidance |
|---|---|
| 50 | Digital pouch printing, one size, valve fitted, good for a single origin release. |
| 500 | Two capacities run together and zipper fitting stops being a per bag surcharge. |
| 1,000 | Rotogravure starts to compete with digital once artwork is locked for the year. |
| 5,000 | Cylinder cost per bag falls sharply and film gauge can be optimized per size. |
| 10,000+ | Film is bought on full rolls, the largest lever there is on pouch pricing. |
Pouches carry film and tooling costs that paperboard avoids, so they sit over a base rate of from about $0.44 per unit at volume. Routing depends on the job: our two production facilities, West Chicago, Illinois and Guangzhou, split work by structure and finish, so eligible in-house work may run in about 7 business days while specialty imported work may take about 12 weeks. Treat both as planning ranges, not guarantees. The flattened pouch layout reaches you as a digital proof before cylinders are cut.
