Copperline Coffee

A Miami micro-roastery with cult status at the farmer's market needed bags that work as hard on a grocery shelf as they do at the stall.

Overview

Copperline roasts in twelve-pound batches and names each blend after a Miami neighborhood. The packaging system I built gives every roast its own copper-foil colorway over a shared kraft base — premium on the shelf, honest in the hand.

Tasting notes, brew ratios, and roast dates are set in a clear hierarchy, and a resealable tin-tie format keeps beans fresh long after the market tent comes down.

The challenge

Stand out among forty specialty bags without resorting to visual noise — and keep unit costs low enough for a small roastery ordering in modest runs.

The approach

One dieline, infinite colorways: a single bag structure printed in short runs with variable foil bands. We shelf-tested prototypes in two real stores before finalizing.

From shelf to hand

Outcome

  • A bag customers photograph — and retailers reorder
  • Short-run-friendly dielines that protect margins
  • Label templates the roastery updates per harvest
