Made for New York

Packaging for New York's roasters, cafés and food makers.

We are committed to supporting small businesses across New York, from the five boroughs of New York City to Westchester, the Hudson Valley, the Catskills and on up to Buffalo. Savor Brands makes custom coffee bags, food pouches and printed boxes for roasters, cafés, bakeries and food makers who need their packaging to stand out in one of the most competitive markets in the country.

In a fast moving market, a shopper decides in 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, white label and private label runs and seasonal releases, rotogravure printing once a product sells at volume, ready to ship stock bags, and custom printed boxes for gift sets, mugs, teas, cookies and online orders.

Just as every coffee blend is unique, we tailor our approach to each brand. To us, packaging is more than a barrier. It is a reflection of the coffee and food inside, and our R+R® Upcycle Program gives your customers somewhere to send the empty bag besides the landfill.

Packaging that ships and sells

How it works

From idea to New York shelf in four steps.

Plan on 9 to 12 weeks from artwork approval to your door, then work back from your launch, the holidays or the New York Coffee Festival.

Tell us your product

What you sell, how much you need and how long it has to stay fresh, whether that is a single origin for a Williamsburg roaster or granola from a Hudson Valley kitchen. We recommend the bag style, barrier and printing method that fit.

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.

Production

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

Delivered to your door

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

Questions

What New York 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 New York 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 New York?

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, the holidays or the New York Coffee Festival.

Do you work with businesses all over New York?

Yes. We work with roasters, cafés and food brands from New York City and Long Island to Westchester, the Hudson Valley, the Catskills, the Capital Region and Western New York. 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.

What can New York customers do with empty bags?

Our R+R® Upcycle Program is open to all our New York partners. It takes back paper free, non compostable packaging and routes it to partners who turn it into building and drainage products instead of landfill. See how it works.
