In the competitive coffee industry, packaging plays a crucial role in brand promotion and product sales. Unprinted coffee bags paired with custom labels have become a popular packaging solution for many coffee brands, especially small to medium-sized roasters.
KaleadPack will boost your coffee brand. We offer high-quality, flexible bag solutions, great labels, and eye-catching logos.
Unprinted Coffee Bags
Cost-Effectiveness
Choosing unprinted coffee bags can significantly reduce packaging costs:
- Bulk purchase advantage: Buy large quantities of generic unprinted bags at lower unit prices.
- Avoid minimum order requirements: No need for custom printing runs for each product.
- Universal bags can lower inventory risks by serving multiple products.
Flexibility
Unprinted bags provide brands with great flexibility:
- Quick market response: Change label designs anytime to launch new products or limited editions.
- Product line expansion: Use the same batch of bags for different types of coffee.
- Seasonal promotions: Easily create holiday or special edition packaging.
The Importance of Custom Labels
While using unprinted bags, custom labels play a crucial role in branding. Well-designed labels can:
- Convey brand image: Showcase brand personality through unique visual design.
- Provide product information: Clearly label coffee type, roast level, and other key information.
- Attract consumer attention: Stand out on the shelf and promote purchase decisions.
Key Points in Label Design
To maximize the effectiveness of custom labels, consider the following when designing:
- Clear brand logo
- Highlighted product features
- Eye-catching visual elements
- Necessary product information
- Regulatory compliant labeling
- Flavor and roasting time
Label Types and Materials
The choice of labels is crucial for the overall effect of the packaging:
- Print-and-apply machines are a great option for flexibility. They let small companies use one coffee label template for all their products.
- Think about using textured labels. You can use a color-coded system to show where the coffee comes from. For example, use reds for coffees from the Americas and blues for other regions.
Label Performance
We have thoroughly tested our labels and custom coffee bag printing methods, and they perform well in every environment your coffee products may encounter. This ensures that your branding and product information remain intact throughout the coffee’s journey from packaging to consumption.

Practical Considerations for Coffee Roasters
Order Quantity and Inventory Management
For small operations roasting 10-20 bags each week, we suggest starting with a supply of unprinted bags. This should be about 500-1000 bags, which is about one box.
This quantity often provides a good balance between pricing and inventory management. As your business grows, KaleadPack can adjust your coffee bag packaging order quantities and labels to match your needs.
Equipment Needs
For sealing your bags, a simple handheld heat sealer is often sufficient for small operations. As you grow, consider upgrading to a tabletop impulse sealer for more efficient packaging. KaleadPack can provide recommendations for sealing equipment that works best with our bags.
Lead Times and Ordering
At KaleadPack, we pride ourselves on quick turnaround times. Our unprinted bags usually take 2-3 weeks to prepare.
This includes 1-2 weeks for label printing and 1 week for express shipping. This time is much shorter than for custom printed bags. We recommend designing your coffee label first while ordering packaging in advance to expedite the order process.
Label Application
Use labels with strong adhesive suitable for the bag material. Apply labels in a clean, dry environment. For best results, some roasters use a heat gun to slightly warm the label after application for better adhesion.
