Precision Packaging for the Perfect Roast: Specialty Series™ 125g Sample Kit
Turn Your Coffee Selection into a Coordinated Tasting Set
Introduce customers to different origins, roast profiles and seasonal releases with custom packaging developed around 125g coffee portions.
Cailyn supplies coffee bags and matching boxes for specialty roasters, coffee brands and tasting collections. Customize the bag structure, printing and presentation to create a consistent range—from an individual micro-lot release to a multi-coffee discovery set.
This offering focuses on packaging. Coffee beans and coffee filling services are not included unless separately agreed.
Why Build a 125g Coffee Collection?
A smaller retail portion gives customers a way to explore several coffees before choosing a larger bag. It also creates opportunities to present limited releases, compare roast profiles and introduce new products.
A coordinated 125g collection can be developed for:
- Single-origin discovery sets
- Comparisons of different roasts or processing methods
- Seasonal and limited-release coffees
- Subscription welcome packs
- Retail tasting collections
- Corporate and holiday gifts
Use a shared packaging design across the collection, with distinct colors, labels or printed information to identify each coffee.
Size the Bag Around Your Actual Coffee
A 125g filling weight is a starting point, rather than a universal bag dimension.
Whole beans and ground coffee occupy different volumes. Bean size, roast profile and the chosen bag format can also affect the space required.
We review the proposed dimensions around your coffee and filling process, allowing space for filling, the closure and the final top seal. A filling trial with your actual product helps confirm the fit before production.
If you already use a 125g bag, send us its dimensions or a physical sample as a reference.
Custom 125g Coffee Bags with Valve Options and Matching Boxes for Specialty Coffee Tasting Sets
Choose the Coffee Bag Format
Flat Bottom Coffee Bags
A flat bottom bag provides a structured presentation with a defined base and side panels.
It is an option for brands that want additional space for origin details, tasting notes and brewing information. The box can be developed around the filled bag dimensions and the preferred arrangement.
Stand Up Coffee Pouches
Stand up pouches offer a flexible format for individual retail sales and tasting collections.
Options such as resealable zippers, tear notches and custom finishes can be reviewed according to the material and production requirements.
Stock Bags with Custom Labels
For a launch requiring a simpler starting point, ask about available stock bags that can be paired with custom labels.
Available colors, dimensions and valve configurations should be confirmed. This approach also allows variable details, such as roast date and batch information, to be added separately.
Select Protection for Your Coffee
-
The appearance of a coffee bag and its protective performance come from different parts of the specification.
We can discuss suitable aluminum foil, metallized film or other barrier structures according to your coffee, filling conditions and intended storage period.
Key considerations include:
- Moisture and oxygen protection
- Light exposure during storage and display
- Seal quality and filling compatibility
- Valve and closure requirements
- Handling and shipping conditions
For projects with recycling or compostability goals, alternative structures can be evaluated separately. The complete packaging—including closures and valves—must be considered.
A target shelf life helps guide the material selection, but it should be validated with your product and packing process.
Valve and Resealable Closure Options
-
One-Way Degassing Valves
A one-way valve can be considered for freshly roasted coffee that continues to release gas after packing.
The valve specification and position should suit the selected bag and filling process. A valve complements the packaging structure; it does not replace an appropriate barrier material or reliable seals.
Resealable Zippers
A zipper allows customers to reclose the bag between uses. The initial heat seal and the resealable closure perform different roles and should both be considered when developing the bag.
For suitable projects targeting compostability, ask about available PLA zipper and PLA valve options. Compatibility and finished-pack claims need to be confirmed for the chosen construction.
Custom Printing for a Recognizable Coffee Range
Build a consistent visual identity while giving each coffee its own story.
Your artwork can include:
- Brand name and logo
- Coffee origin and producer information
- Roast profile and processing method
- Tasting notes
- Brewing guidance
- Space for roast dates or batch labels
- QR codes linking to your own product information
Digital printing can be discussed for smaller projects or multiple designs. Gravure printing is another option for suitable larger production runs.
We review the quantity per design, material and finish before recommending the printing route. Minimum quantities are confirmed for the selected specification.
Matching Boxes for Discovery Sets and Gifts
-
Develop the outer box around the actual filled bags and the number of coffees in your collection.
Options can include folding retail cartons, corrugated mailer boxes and rigid presentation boxes. Inserts or dividers can be considered where needed to organize the bags and maintain the intended presentation.
A good fit helps the set feel deliberate while avoiding unnecessary empty space.
We can also coordinate tasting cards, brewing guides, labels and printed sleeves to complete the collection.
One Packaging Partner for the Complete Set
Coordinating the bags and boxes within one project helps align dimensions, artwork and production requirements.
Cailyn can support:
- Coffee bag and box size coordination
- Material and closure selection
- Artwork placement across different components
- Sample review before production
- Packing and consolidated shipping arrangements where practical
Different materials can reproduce colors and surface finishes differently. Review samples when close visual consistency between the bag and box is important.
Packaging Samples Before Production
Packaging samples help you review the physical details before committing to a production order.
Depending on availability and the project requirements, sample options may include existing bags, structural samples or custom printed samples.
Use the sample stage to check:
- Fit with your actual coffee
- Filling access and top-sealing space
- Bag appearance when filled
- Closure and valve configuration
- Fit inside the proposed box
- Artwork readability and finish
Sample contents, fees and preparation times are confirmed individually. A sample set for material or print review does not automatically establish shelf-life performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the sample kit include coffee?
This product focuses on packaging for coffee tasting sets. Coffee contents and filling are not included unless separately agreed.
Will every 125g coffee fit the same bag?
Not necessarily. Whole beans, ground coffee and different roast profiles can require different volumes. We recommend checking the dimensions with your actual product.
Can I use several designs within one collection?
Yes. Share the number of coffees, quantity per design and any common specifications so we can review suitable printing options.
Can you supply the matching box?
Yes. We can develop a box around the filled bags, intended pack count and presentation style.
Do all 125g bags need a degassing valve?
Valve requirements depend on the coffee and packing process. Tell us whether you pack freshly roasted beans or ground coffee and how the product is prepared for packing.
Can I start with stock bags and upgrade to custom printing later?
We can discuss suitable stock bags and labels for an initial launch, followed by custom printed packaging as the project develops. Available specifications should be confirmed.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Please provide the coffee type, filling weight, preferred bag format, quantity per design, valve requirements and target market. For a tasting set, also tell us the number of bags per box and your preferred box style.
