5 Exceptional Examples of Coffee Labels
When launching a new coffee product or business, the labels and packaging can be a big decision. You may be wondering how to convey the feel of your roast or brand, what you can do to jump off the page/shelf, and what information to include for consumers.
We gathered the best photo submissions from our Customer Ideas gallery to help you explore successful coffee label designs.
Full-Color, High-Gloss Coffee Bag Labels
This coffee bean bag label by Rising Sun Coffee was expertly crafted to match the company's branding. The glossy label captures the light of the morning and softly wakes the consumer with the dark-to-light color scheme.
To differentiate between the company's various products, Rising Sun uses color. The green band pictured above is just one of the many colors used to represent roasts and blends. Other colors include blue, red, brown, purple, and more.
According to owner John W. Dilworth, "This way we can always use the same label and have an unlimited choice of color bands for the coffee."
Product used: OL500WS, a 4" x 3" rectangle on White Gloss Laser.

Clean & Simple Cold Brew Coffee Bottle Neck Labels
Determined to create an elegant product, JP's Classy Cold Brew uses an iconic branded image on the main bottle with small neck label to highlight the bottle's unique flavor.
Each label is printed in a different color to help differentiate the bottles and increase recall. The design is striking, using negative space and a bold font to name each beverage.
Product used: OL75LP, a 4" x 1" rectangle on Weatherproof Polyester Laser Labels.
Printed Coffee Bags With Variable Labels
For Reboot Roasting, the fun imagery of the brand was key. Using pre-printed gusseted bags with space to add product-specific labels, the company combined standardized design with customizeable product labeling.
Using coordinated colors and text on the supplementary label, customers can clearly tell which coffee variant they're selecting at the point of purchase.
