Retail Formats

Many roasters use our manufacturing service to launch retail-ready specialty instant coffee under their own brand.

Finished instant can be returned in bulk, or packed into a range of consumer formats depending on your product goals. We work with each client to deliver the format that best suits their retail or wholesale channels.

Available formats include:

  • 40g retail jars (60+/batch)
    Ideal for limited releases or premium single-origin drops.
  • 60g retail jars (40+/batch)
    The most common format for specialty instant, suited to café shelves and online stores.
  • 120g retail jars (20+/batch)
    Larger retail format for repeat customers and high-volume home use.
  • Single-serve sachets
    Convenient travel or hospitality format, suitable for retail packs, subscriptions, or café service.
  • Bulk return
    Finished instant supplied loose for roasters who prefer to manage their own packaging.

Packaging formats are confirmed during project planning. We supply dielines for all formats so artwork can be completed by the client or their designer prior to production.

As Australia’s specialty instant coffee manufacturer, we work closely with roasters to ensure each product format is commercially viable and ready for retail.

Packaging services are invoiced after production once final batch yield is confirmed.
