Custom packaging for coffee and tea
Specialty coffee has a recognisable look: kraft board, a clean grid of origin details, and one metallic accent. The carton usually holds a foil bag that does the freshness work, so the box is about brand and shelf presence. Tea is similar but leans more on tube boxes and gift sets.
