Ever Lost a Customer After a Great First Sip?
You’re not alone. We’ve worked with independent roasters, cafés, and subscription brands across the UK who faced the same problem: people loved the coffee — but never came back. Why? Because the packaging didn’t match the experience. A loose lid, a soggy bottom, or a bland box can ruin that crucial first impression. And in the coffee game, that’s everything.
When we talk to founders and fulfilment teams, we often hear the same thing:
“We just want something that looks professional and protects our product.”
And that’s exactly what we build.
Built for the Roast, the Shelf, and the Journey
Coffee packaging isn’t just a container — it’s part of your product. That’s why every one of our coffee boxes is designed to keep your grounds or beans fresh, stable, and gift-ready.
Whether you’re after a coffee gift packaging box for a premium roast or cardboard coffee boxes for your house blend, we’ll help you find the right structure, coating, and finish. And if you’re shipping? We’ll make sure your box holds up to handling, heat, and even those rainy UK mornings.
What you can customise:
- Lock-bottom or crash-bottom for strength
- Insert trays or compartments for cups or bags
- Foil stamping, matte lamination, or soft-touch finishes
- Clear window cutouts to show off your packaging without compromising freshness
Need something that pops on shelves? Or folds flat for storage? Let’s make it work for your setup.
Coffee Packaging That Carries Your Brand
We know you’re not just selling coffee — you’re selling the ritual, the aroma, the story behind every cup. Your packaging needs to reflect that.
That’s why our custom printed coffee boxes are built around your brand. Whether it’s deep, earthy tones for your Ethiopian roast or minimalist black-and-white for your espresso pods, we’ll match your vision down to the Pantone.
We can help with:
- Logo placement and wrap-around designs
- Product storytelling panels
- QR code integration
- Seasonal box runs (yes, we do festive designs!)
Some of our favourite projects started from a napkin sketch — so don’t worry if you’re not a designer. We’ll support you with artwork setup and free digital proofing before anything goes to print.
Small Batch to Big Scale — No Fuss
Just starting out? Testing a new blend? We offer MOQ as low as 100 units so you can launch without overstocking.
Here’s what else you get:
- 7–10 working day turnaround after artwork approval
- Food-safe inks and compliant board grades
- Full CMYK or spot colour printing
- Hands-on support from our packaging team (not a chatbot)
We’ve helped roasters scale from local markets to national retailers. And we’re just as excited about your first 100 boxes as we are about your 10,000th.
Real Results, Real Brands
One of our recent clients — a small-batch roaster in Manchester — was using plain mailer boxes. Their coffee? Fantastic. But their churn rate was climbing. Together, we built a sleek tuck-top box of coffee with a zip-lock pouch insert and a matte black sleeve.
Their subscriber retention jumped by 37% in the first three months. And Instagram? Lit up. That’s the power of thoughtful coffee box packaging.
Sustainable Choices Without the Compromise
Want to go eco? You don’t have to trade looks for responsibility.

FAQs
Can I start with just 100 coffee boxes?
Absolutely. We get it — not everyone wants 5,000 boxes out the gate. We offer low minimums so you can test or launch affordably.
What’s the usual turnaround time?
Once your artwork’s signed off, we’re usually looking at 7 to 10 working days. That said, if you’re in a pinch, let us know — we’ve pulled off some quick turnarounds before. We’ll always do our best to make it happen for you.
Are these boxes food-safe?
Yes — we only use food-grade materials and inks suitable for direct and indirect contact. If you need inner lining or barrier protection, we can add that too.
I’ve got no clue where to start — help?
Honestly, you’re not the only one — loads of people come to us with just an idea and a product. That’s totally fine. Tell us what you’re making and roughly how you want it to feel in-hand or on shelf. We’ll take it from there and guide you through the rest — no stress, no jargon.
Can you match my brand colours exactly?
We sure can. We offer full CMYK and Pantone matching to get your colour right — even if it’s a custom roast brown or a unique matte finish.
