Coffee Bag Boxes are custom-printed paperboard folding cartons for roasters and coffee subscriptions that ship bagged beans. The carton holds one or several bags steady while showing off your roast branding.
A printed outer carton upgrades a loose bag into a retail-ready or gift-ready package, which helps single-origin and seasonal blends stand out on a shelf or doorstep. Reverse-tuck or auto-bottom construction makes pack-out quick for a busy roastery. Think of a subscription roaster mailing a monthly two-bag box to members.

Ordering Coffee Cartons at Roaster Volume
The carton has to fit a bag that changes shape once it is filled and degassed, so measure the filled bag rather than the flat one. Twelve ounce and five pound formats need different board calipers, and a reverse tuck opens fast on a packing bench while an auto bottom carries more weight without popping the glue line.
| Cartons | Roastery packing guidance |
|---|---|
| 50 | Fit checks against a filled and degassed bag. |
| 500 | Subscription boxes for one quarter of shipments. |
| 1,000 | Single origin and blend lines using one structure. |
| 5,000 | Litho setup drops away and board choice leads cost. |
| 10,000+ | Wholesale roasting volume from about $0.44 per unit at volume. |
