Custom printed bags, pouches and boxes for North Carolina roasters, cafés and food makers, with digital runs from 500 bags per design.
“Every product has its own personality, and packaging is a fun way to show it off.”
Leticia ChavezSavor Brands
We are committed to supporting small businesses across North Carolina, from Charlotte and the Triangle to Greensboro and Winston-Salem, up into Asheville and the mountains and out to Wilmington and the coast. Savor Brands makes custom coffee bags, food pouches and printed boxes for roasters, cafés, bakeries and food makers of every size.
North Carolina has one of the most exciting specialty coffee scenes in the South, and 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, 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.
From a first farmers market run to a statewide retail launch, every service below is available to businesses across North Carolina, with the same minimums, the same printing and samples before you commit.
Stand up pouches, flat bottom and side gusset bags for single origins, blends and cold brew, printed with your brand and fitted with a degassing valve, built to stand out from an Asheville roastery to a Triangle shelf.
Full color printing with no cylinder setup, made for the limited releases and seasonal single origins North Carolina roasters drop all year, plus private label and product tests.
The lowest cost per bag once a label is moving at volume through Harris Teeter, Publix and grocery across the state, with rich, consistent color across long runs and reorders.
Pouches and bags for jerky, boiled peanuts, granola, pork rinds, trail mix and spice blends, with barriers matched to your shelf life.
Resealable pouches, bar wrappers and gift boxes for North Carolina's craft chocolate makers, gummies, hard candy and freeze dried treats.
Printed boxes and box sets for gift sets, subscriptions and online orders, built to ship from the Piedmont.
Ready made bags in six colors, with or without a valve. Add your logo with UV 3D raised print or a label and you are ready for market day or a Blue Ridge pop up.
Dress a stock bag in your brand, or wrap a seasonal belly band around a box or bag so one package can carry a whole lineup of roasts.

From Charlotte cafés to Triangle roasters, mountain towns and beach towns, we work with North Carolina businesses wherever they are and deliver to the door. Here is what we see region by region.
The biggest city in the state and a serious coffee town. Charlotte's Night Swim Coffee, born from Not Just Coffee and Undercurrent Coffee, won a 2023 Sprudge Design Award for Outstanding Social Media.
The 2023 Sprudge Design AwardsUniversities, research parks and a thriving café culture. Durham's Little Waves Coffee launched Curious: A Wonder Menu in 2024, bringing coffee professionals from around the world into its drinks.
How Little Waves is brewing connectionsHistoric downtowns with independent cafés, bakeries and makers. Low minimums let a new roaster or food brand look polished from the very first run, then grow into regional retail.
A beginner's guide to custom coffee bagsCraft everything, from coffee and chocolate to beer. Visitors fill these mountain towns year round, so packaging often doubles as a souvenir that goes home in a suitcase.
Packaging for coffee tourismBeach towns with a busy summer season. Cafés and food makers here sell to visitors, so gift boxes and grab-and-go bags do a lot of the selling.
Custom gift boxesSome of the richest farmland in the South, famous for sweet potatoes and peanuts. Farm brands package snacks, rubs and sauces for farmers markets, grocers and gift shops.
Food packagingIf it is roasted in Asheville, baked in the Triangle or grown in the Piedmont, we have probably packaged something like it. Find your product below, or tell us what you need to package.
Plan on 9 to 12 weeks from artwork approval to your door, then work back from your launch, the holidays or festival season.
What you sell, how much you need and how long it has to stay fresh, whether that is a single origin for a Durham café or boiled peanuts from a roadside stand. We recommend the bag style, barrier and printing method that fit.
Check samples against your real fill weight, then approve a proof of your artwork on the right dieline before anything is printed.
Printing, laminating and converting run about 4 to 6 weeks after your artwork is approved.
Shipping to your door takes about 5 to 6 weeks, so order ahead of your launch, the holidays and festival season.
We work with North Carolina roasters and food makers who want to stand out next to the big names. Meet the team and see how independent brands tell their story with their packaging.

Yes. We work with roasters, cafés and food brands from Charlotte and the Triangle to the Triad, Asheville and the mountains, Wilmington and the coast. Orders ship to your door wherever you are.
Choose the barrier for your product and your shelf life. A high barrier film keeps moisture and oxygen out, a one-way valve lets fresh coffee release gas, and a zipper reseals the bag after opening. Industrial compostable and EVOH structures run about four months, metallized polyester about six, and aluminum nine to twelve.
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.
