Packaging for California's roasters, cafés and food makers.

Mayra Alvarez of Savor Brands

“Great packaging brings the care, passion, and story behind every product to life in a way customers remember.”

Mayra AlvarezSavor Brands

California has one of the most crowded specialty coffee and food scenes in the country, and Savor Brands works with businesses all over it, from Los Angeles and San Diego in SoCal to San Francisco and the Bay Area in NorCal, and on up to Sacramento and Lake Tahoe. We make custom coffee bags, food pouches and printed boxes for roasters, cafés, bakeries, snack makers and farms that need their packaging to hold its own on a busy shelf.

In a market this competitive, a shopper decides in a few seconds. Your package has to tell your story at a glance, protect what is inside, and still make sense for the size of your business. That is why we offer digital printed bags from 500 per design for launches and seasonal releases, rotogravure printing once a product sells at volume, ready to ship stock bags, and custom printed boxes for gift sets, subscriptions and online orders.

California customers also care where the bag goes after the coffee is gone. Our R+R® Upcycle Program gives your empties somewhere to go besides the landfill, and our guide to where to recycle coffee bags in California lists drop-off shops across the state.

Locations

Custom packaging across California.

From Southern California beach towns to Bay Area cafés and mountain roasters in the Sierra, we work with California businesses wherever they are and deliver to the door. Here is what we see region by region.

Los Angeles & SoCal

Southern California
Los Angeles · Long Beach · Pasadena · Orange County · Riverside

The biggest and most competitive market in the state. SoCal brands lean on bold, full color printing and seasonal releases to stand out in a sea of cafés, specialty grocers and online stores.

West Coast design trends

San Diego

San Diego County
San Diego · Carlsbad · Oceanside · La Jolla · Escondido

A deep bench of award winning roasters and a strong surf and beach culture. San Diego brands want packaging with personality that still protects a premium roast.

A San Diego roaster story

San Francisco Bay Area

NorCal
San Francisco · Oakland · Berkeley · San Jose · Marin

Home to some of the most influential specialty coffee in the country. Bay Area customers expect thoughtful design and a real answer on sustainability, from the barrier to the end of the bag’s life.

San Francisco sustainable bags

Central Coast

Monterey to Santa Barbara
Monterey · Santa Cruz · San Luis Obispo · Santa Barbara

Coastal cafés and roasters with a loyal local following and plenty of visitors. Brands like Captain + Stoker in Monterey pair a strong identity with packaging that travels well.

Captain + Stoker, Monterey

Sacramento & Central Valley

Inland California
Sacramento · Davis · Fresno · Modesto · Stockton

Farm country and a fast growing café scene. Food makers here package nuts, dried fruit, snacks and baked goods, and low minimums let small producers look polished from the first run.

Packaging that ships and sells
How it works

From idea to California shelf in four steps.

Plan on 9 to 12 weeks from artwork approval to your door, then work back from your launch, market or holiday date.

01

Tell us your product

What you sell, how much you need and how long it has to stay fresh. We recommend the bag style, barrier and printing method that fit.

02

Sample and proof

Check samples against your real fill weight, then approve a proof of your artwork on the right dieline before anything is printed.

03

Production

Printing, laminating and converting run about 4 to 6 weeks after your artwork is approved.

04

Delivered to your door

Shipping to your door takes about 5 to 6 weeks, so order ahead of your launch and the holidays.

Sustainability

R+R® Upcycle Program

Our R+R® Program is available to all our California partners. It takes back paper free, non compostable packaging and routes it to partners who turn it into building and drainage products, and puts education first so you can show your community where the bag goes next.

Questions

What California businesses ask us most.

If yours is not here, send it through the form below and a packaging person will pick it up.

What is the smallest custom packaging order for a California business?

Digital printed bags start at 500 per design. Custom boxes and mailers also start at 500 per design. Stock bags start at 1,000, and rotogravure printing starts at 10,000 per design for brands selling at volume.

How long does custom packaging take to reach California?

Production runs 4 to 6 weeks after your artwork is approved, plus 5 to 6 weeks of shipping for to-door delivery. Plan on 9 to 12 weeks from approval, and work back from your launch, farmers market season or holiday date.

Do you work with businesses all over California?

Yes. We work with roasters, cafés and food brands from San Diego and Los Angeles to the Bay Area, the Central Coast, Sacramento and Lake Tahoe. Orders ship to your door wherever you are.

How long will my coffee stay fresh in the bag?

That comes from the barrier material, not from whether the bag is stock or custom. Industrial compostable and EVOH structures run about four months, metallized polyester about six, and aluminum nine to twelve.

Can I see a sample before I order?

Yes. We send samples so you can check the film, the seal, the closure and the size against your real fill weight before a full run is printed.

Where can California customers return empty bags?

Our R+R® Upcycle Program takes back paper free, non compostable packaging and routes it to partners who turn it into building and drainage products instead of landfill. We list California drop-off shops on our blog.
