Kolbe Coffee Roasters
2025
Identity, packaging
A roastery that wanted to look as careful as it roasts: a stamped mark, a bag system for forty origins and a label that changes with every harvest.
The brief
Kolbe roasts in small batches and sells most of it in their own café. Their old bags looked like everyone else’s, and the beans deserved better.
The idea
A mark that works as a rubber stamp, so every bag is marked by hand in the roastery. The stamp sits on plain kraft, and a label carries the origin, the farm and the roast date.
What we made
Identity, stamp and label system, forty origin labels, café menus, signage and a short guide so the team can add new coffees without calling me.
