Now that their coffee beans were ready to be sold, they required a box that would create a tactile response and reinforce their specialty brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They believed that customer experience and the quality of the roast are the main pillars of creating a pleasant coffee community. Hex Coffee needed a package that captured the value of these two elements and one that conveyed the passion of the brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The weight, structure, and overall feel of the packaging should exert flexibility, elegance, and class while keeping the budget to a minimum. For this, Hex Coffee used,&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/pakfactory.com\/folding-carton-paperboard-boxes.html\">PakFactory\u2019s Folding Carton<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Finding the right package for your product can be extremely difficult and nerving, but working with Pakfactory I knew that the package would be coming out absolutely perfect.<\/p>\n<cite>Tanner Morita, Co-Founder<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading cnvs-block-core-heading-1585083954457\"><strong>The&nbsp;Solution<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hex Coffee decided to work with PakFactory for its endless custom options and tailored service.
