In the coffee industry, a good cup of coffee is important, but the key to winning repeat customers is to make customers remember your brand from both visual and tactile perspectives.
From the warm paper coffee cups in your hand to the exquisite paper bag for packaging, every detail hides the secret to enhancing brand value.
This article will take you to explore how to make a small shop glow with the temperament of a big brand through a one-stop coffee shop packaging solution.
Why do you need an integrated packaging solution?
Imagine this scenario: during the busy morning hours, the clerk casually handed over a paper cup with a blurred logo, and the packaging bag suddenly cracked in the customer’s hand – such an experience is enough to ruin the carefully roasted coffee.
An integrated packaging solution can not only avoid these problems, but also bring three core advantages:
1. Double brand memory points
A unified packaging design is like a silent billboard. When customers walk on the street with a paper cup with a distinctive logo, or walk into the office with a paper bag of the same style, your brand impression has taken root invisibly.
2. Win-win for cost and efficiency
Say goodbye to the trouble of comparing prices and urging goods among different suppliers. Centralized procurement can not only enjoy bulk discounts, but also ensure stable packaging quality control, and the time and money saved can be fully invested in new product research and development.
3. Environmental protection is competitiveness
According to a survey, 68% of consumers prefer to patronize businesses that use environmentally friendly packaging. Using degradable paper cups and recycled paper bags can not only reduce the amount of garbage, but also attract customers who focus on sustainable lifestyles.
Customized paper cups: walking brand business cards
Paper cups are the most direct mobile advertising carrier for coffee shops. Want to make it both practical and eye-catching? These three details cannot be ignored:
Visual impact: Gradient color cup body, 3D embossed texture, and even thermochromic paper cups (hidden patterns emerge when heated) can all encourage customers to take photos and share.
Upgraded drinking experience: Double-layer insulation structure avoids scalding, and the anti-seepage design of the cup mouth makes hurried office workers no longer embarrassed.
Environmental certification endorsement: FSC forest certified paper is selected, and the cup body is clearly marked “100% compostable” to dispel consumers’ doubts about the authenticity of environmental protection.
Paper bags are small, but the experience is great
In addition to paper cups, packaging paper bags are also an extension of the brand image.
A boutique coffee shop once conducted a test: upgrading ordinary kraft paper bags to matte touch paper bags and printing gold-stamped brand slogans, the take-out orders increased by 23%. When choosing paper bags, you need to pay attention to:
Load-bearing and oil-proof: It is not easy to deform after filling sandwiches or croissants, and the inner layer of food-grade coating prevents grease penetration.
Ingenious design: reserved hand tear lines are convenient for customers to unpack, and handles are added on the side to reduce the feeling of strangulation.
How to choose a reliable packaging supplier?
There are good and bad packaging factories in the market. It is recommended to screen from three dimensions:
Flexible customization capability: Can special processes (such as local UV, hot stamping) be realized? Does the proofing cycle exceed 5 days?
Quality control transparency: Provide raw material test reports and support factory inspection.
Emergency response speed: When there is a sudden burst of orders, can you replenish stocks within 3 days?
Take a chain brand as an example. Its supplier provides a “one-code traceability” service-scan the QR code on the bottom of the cup to view the source of paper and production batch. This transparent cooperation greatly improves the trust between the two parties.
