Kraft paper labels on roll for a coffee roaster
Coffee & Tea Labels
Labels for coffee bags, tea tins, pouches and jars that stay flat on foil-lined and kraft bags, survive handling in the roastery and carry roast dates, variety and batch details legibly. Kraft and textured papers for the brand, film where the pack sees moisture.
- Valve bags, flat-bottom pouches, tins, jars and boxes: kraft, foil-lined film, metal and glass
- Adhesives tested on matte, foil and coated bag surfaces
- Kraft, uncoated and textured papers; white and clear film for tins and jars
- Roast date, variety and batch areas left writable or coded on the line
Tell us the container, the conditions and the line; we propose the construction and confirm it with samples.
Where coffee and tea labels go
From the roastery bag to the gift tin, each surface asks for a different label.
Coffee bags
Front and back labels on kraft and foil-lined valve bags, hand or machine applied.
Roast date & variety
Small labels and sheets for dates, origin and roast level that change with every batch.
Tea tins & pouches
Film labels on metal tins and stand-up pouches; wraparound and lid labels.
Jars & cold brew
Clear and white film labels on glass jars and chilled bottles.
Problems we solve in coffee & tea
The problems roasters and tea brands bring to us most often.
Labels lift on foil and matte bags
Low-energy and textured bag films reject standard adhesives at the edges.
What we do: high-tack adhesive matched to the bag film, tested on your actual bag after 24 hours; conformable face stock for flexible packs.
Every batch needs a different date or variety
Printing a new full label for each roast is slow and expensive.
What we do: a printed brand label plus a small variable label or a writable area; thermal-printable stocks for your own printer.
Oils and fingerprints on kraft
Natural papers mark where oily beans and hands touch them.
What we do: kraft with a matte varnish or thin lamination that keeps the natural look and wipes clean; uncoated paper for dry teas only.
Small runs across many origins
A dozen origins in small quantities cost like a dozen jobs.
What we do: one construction for the range, ganged designs on the same roll or sheet, and the specification kept on file for reorders.
