Illustration turns a coffee bag into a world customers can explore! For Mara Berger, the illustrator behind Kaffeemacher:innen's bag design, packaging is more than a surface for information. It is an opportunity to create a world that customers can explore.

In today's article, we chatted with her to understand how illustration shapes specialty coffee packaging: https://mtpak.coffee/2026/06/coffee-illustration-coffee-bag-to-get-lost-in/

Why should you use boxes for your coffee? While coffee bags remain the most popular packaging choice, boxes for coffee offer a quality alternative that protects the product in transit.

Well-designed boxes help roasters strengthen brand recognition and support sustainability goals.

To learn more, we spoke to Chris Retallick, co-owner of New Jersey-based Boxwood Coffee, about the brand’s boxes for coffee and the design thinking behind them: https://mtpak.coffee/2026/06/best-boxes-for-coffee-a-roasters-guide/
