What roasted formats do you offer?

Retail bags at 250 g, 500 g and 1 kg, foodservice bags at 5 kg, and portion sachets. Each format has its own film structure, closure, valve fitment and minimum, all set out in the matrix below.

How is green coffee packed?

In 60 kg jute bags, the standard Brazilian export unit — 275 bags fill a 20-foot container. Boxed quantities for the transactional tiers use a 10 kg box, which requires US-landed inventory to ship by parcel.

What sets the minimum order?

Printed film, usually — not roasting. Film prints in long runs, so the packaging supplier minimum is normally the binding constraint while the roastery could run a few hundred kilos. Ask for both numbers separately; the larger one is your real floor.

Digital print and pre-printed labels on stock film both lower the minimum at a higher unit cost, which suits a launch. Raise it in the first conversation if minimum is your constraint.
