Journey of a Bag: From Vision to Delivery

Creating a custom Roastar bag is more than just printing—it’s a journey, where every step is designed to bring your vision to life.

How Roastar Brings Your Packaging Vision to Life

Ever wondered what it takes to bring a custom-printed Roastar bag to life? While it might seem like magic, it’s really a mix of cutting-edge tech, a sprinkle of creativity, and a whole lot of precision. Let’s dive into the journey of a Roastar bag — from receiving your artwork file to the moment it’s shipped out the door.

From Your Vision to Our Screen

It all starts with your artwork. You send us your designs, and our team takes over, checking every detail to ensure your file is print-ready. Is the color mode CMYK? Is the artboard size on point? Are the fonts behaving? Once we’re confident your artwork is good to go, we first send you a digital proof and then an optional physical flat proof (a step we highly recommend). Once you give us the thumbs-up, your design is officially ready for its Roastar glow-up.

Material Meets Masterpiece

Every bag’s journey begins with a roll of raw material — a blank canvas just waiting for your artwork. The material gets primed and fed into our print engine. Here, your design becomes a reality as it’s printed onto the material with unparalleled precision. From there, the material is rolled back up, ready for the next step.

Press, Fold, and Add Some Flair

Next, the now-printed material takes a turn on the pouching machine. It’s here that your bag starts to take shape — literally. The material is folded, formed, sealed, and cut into its iconic bag form. Need a zipper? A tear notch or hang hole? A tin tie for that extra pizzazz? This is where we add all the bells and whistles that make your bag uniquely yours.

Quality You Can Count On

At Roastar, we don’t mess around when it comes to quality. Each bag undergoes a series of rigorous inspections to make sure it meets your expectations. From double-checking dimensions to testing seal integrity, our team takes the phrase "attention to detail" to a whole new level. There’s even a “haug test,” where bags are put under pressure in a water tank to ensure airtight seals.

Packaged Perfection, On Its Way to You

Once your bags pass inspection, they’re carefully packed, labeled, and sent off to shipping. It’s the final (and most exciting) leg of the journey — the one where your bags leave our hands and head straight to yours, ready to make their debut with your customers.
