Packaging

The bag is part of the story.Kraft paper. Bilingual. Recyclable.

Natural kraft paper. Bilingual labeling. Designed to say nothing about where we source — and everything about the quality inside.

Every Novelo bag is made from natural kraft paper — unbleached, recyclable, and built to hold freshly roasted coffee without compromise. Inside, a food-grade barrier lining keeps moisture and oxygen out. On the front, the only numbers that matter: the SCA score.

Bilingual is the baseline. We go further.

Under Canada's Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act, all packaged goods sold in Canada must display product name, net quantity, and dealer information in both English and French. Every Novelo bag meets that requirement — and adds tasting notes, brew guidance, origin statements, and storage instructions in both languages too.

Required by law (CPLA)
  • Product name / Nom du produit
  • Net quantity / Quantité nette
  • Dealer name and address / Nom et adresse du distributeur
Novelo standard (above requirement)
  • Tasting notes / Notes de dégustation
  • Brew guide / Guide de préparation
  • Origin statement / Déclaration d'origine
  • Storage instructions / Instructions de conservation
Sourcing

Minimum order quantities start at 100 units. We recommend ordering plain kraft bags with custom sticker labels at launch, then moving to full custom print runs once the design is finalized. Every dollar saved on packaging goes back to the farmers who grew the coffee.
