Team Roto or Team Digital? The Coffee Packaging Saga Begins

It is spooky season, so we are staging a playful showdown between two heavy hitters in coffee packaging. On one side stands rotogravure printing, a scale-ready classic built for consistency. On the other side is digital printing, a fast and flexible favorite for fresh designs. The featured bags are from Savor Brands PONO, a sample print line that showcases innovation across materials, AR experiences, holographic touches, and custom shapes. Pono comes from the Hawaiian word for doing what is right with balance and integrity. Same facts, new vibe. Let’s see which team fits your brand.
