The Challenge
Blue Oak needed custom printed pouches with degassing valves but every supplier quoted 5,000-unit MOQ. They could not afford to tie up cash in inventory before validating roast profiles and retail placement.
The Solution
ZentPak produced 200-unit trial runs with full-color flexo print, one-way valves, and AI-generated artwork. Marcus iterated pouch size and finish twice before scaling to 2,000 units.
The Results
32%
Lower per-unit packaging cost vs previous quote at 5,000 MOQ
9 days
From approved artwork to delivered pouches
28%
Sales lift after packaging redesign on shelf
“We thought we would need 5,000 pouches. ZentPak let us start at 200, test, and scale. The AI designer created artwork we would have paid $2,000 for at an agency.”
