Custom Labels

Effective coffee bag labeling is essential for building brand identity and ensuring product transparency. Key information to include on labels comprises the coffee name, roast level, origin, net weight, roast date, and any certifications like organic or fair trade. Various labeling methods—such as custom printed bags, stickers, stamping, belly bands, or label inserts—can be selected to align with your brand's aesthetic and operational needs.

Labels work as an effective way to promote brand recognition and showcase product transparency. Showcase key information on your packaging label such as:

Coffee Name
Roast Level
Origin
Net Weight
Roast Date
Any certifications (organic, fair trade, and etc.)

There are quite a few different ways to label your coffee packaging depending on your brand identity and the aesthetic/vibe you are looking to achieve: 1. Custom Printed Coffee Bags – Reduce labor and save time by having your labels directly printed onto your coffee packaging. Connect with the Savor Brands team to learn more about our flexible, digitally printed coffee packaging options. 2. Stickers/Labels – The most popular option for many roasters (large and small). Easily customize all your coffee packaging by printing creative and beautifully designed labels. 3. Stamping – Looking for a handmade, artisan, and rustic feel? Stamping your coffee packaging is a great cost effective way to label your different roasts/blends. 4. Belly Bands - A cost effective solution to create a label for your coffee packaging while also adding a premium touch. 5. Packaging with Label Inserts – A unique and different way to label your coffee packaging. This utilizes a pouch with an insert slit for you to slide in a printed card with your branding and coffee info. When labeling your coffee packaging, make sure to keep your design clear, concise, and aligns with your branding goals. Your coffee packaging labels can make all the difference when you're looking to scale up your business as it helps build your brand identity.
