Coffee labels for bags, tins and cold-brew bottles
A coffee label has to sell the roast from a crowded shelf, survive kraft bags and countertop spills, and leave room for the details buyers look for: origin, roast, tasting notes. We print small and large runs so you can launch a seasonal blend without overbuying.
- Best for: Pouches, flat-bottom bags, tins, jars, cold-brew bottles
- Recommended stock: Matte on white BOPP; gold foil for reserve lots
- Typical shape: Rectangle or round seal
- Proof: Free digital proof

Good to know
What coffee brands should think about
One design per roast
Each origin or blend is its own design. Keep a consistent layout and change colour, name and notes, so a range reads as a family on the shelf.
Textured kraft bags
Kraft and matte bags have a slightly rough surface. Apply on a flat area away from the fold and the one-way valve.
Leave a field for the roast date
Printed artwork is fixed, so leave a blank box or line for a stamp or a hand-written roast date.
Cold-brew and RTD bottles
Condensation on chilled bottles is exactly what waterproof BOPP is for. Apply to a dry bottle before chilling.
Our recommendation
Material and finish
Matte finish on our standard white stock gives the natural, café look and shrugs off coffee oil and wet hands. Use gold foil for a limited reserve or gift tin, and clear stock if you want kraft bags to show through behind your artwork.

Questions about coffee labels
Do labels hold up on oily coffee bags?
Our BOPP stock is oil-resistant on the surface and the adhesive is permanent. Test one label on your bag type, since some bag coatings vary.
Can I order several blends at once?
Yes, add each design as its own item in the same checkout, each with its own proof and quantity.
Can you add a roast date?
The printed artwork is fixed. Leave space for a stamp or hand-written date, or ask for a custom quote if you need variable data.
Which size should I choose for a 12 oz bag?
Many roasters use a front label around 3 × 4 inches, but measure your own bag. Proof-sized paper cut-outs help.

Custom roll labels
Roll labels are the workhorse of product packaging: printed on a continuous roll so you can hand-apply them to jars and bottles or feed them through a label applicator.
