When you’re ready to start a custom bag project, you can log in to your Roastar.com account -- or create one -- and use our online dashboard to create a project. After giving your project a name, you’ll configure the bag or pouch you want (or we’ll pre-fill this, if you’re starting from a quote). You’ll tell us about the bag size, material, and special features like de-gassing valves or tin ties, and then move on to the fun part – creating and submitting your bag artwork based on the Roastar artwork template that’s perfect for your project. Create my project
After downloading the appropriate template for your bag (we will attach it automatically to your project after you configure your bag), it’s time to create your beautiful bag artwork. And now we have to share some real talk: Here’s where we find things can get sticky. Custom-printed bag artwork is a bad place for a DIY approach. That’s why we’ve put together resources to help this go more smoothly.
First, you have to make an important decision: Are you a designer, or do you have access to a designer?
If the answer is yes, we’ve collected resources just for designers. Make sure to review and follow our Artwork Specifications closely, and work with our pre-press team on any nitty-gritty questions.
If you’re not a designer and you don’t have one on tap, please don’t go it alone. Review our artwork resources for business stakeholders. Find a designer and work with them. We can even help you get connected with someone great. Trust us on this one. Your project will go much more smoothly.
After you’ve got those artwork files optimized, in the correct template for your chosen bag, and fully adhering to our artwork specifications, it’s time to log in to your Roastar.com project and send us your designs. Our pre-press team will review your files and verify they’re ready to go. If anything’s amiss, we’ll send information back to you with detail on what needs fixing before we can proceed.

Once Roastar pre-press approves your artwork file(s), we’ll automatically create a digital proof (PDF) and will ask you to review and approve it. If it’s not quite right, you can reject it and tell us what’s wrong, and we’ll work with you on correcting it.
Once you approve a digital proof, we’ll ask you to specify which physical proof you’d like. We can send you a free flat press proof to check artwork and colors or, if you want something a little more “real,” we can create a converted sample bag proof for you for an additional $250.
Here’s a little more real talk on keeping your project successful: don’t skip the physical proof. While you can waive a physical proof and move ahead with an order solely based on the digital proof, we don’t recommend it. Your bags are a big deal. We want to make sure what comes off our presses matches your expectations.
Once you’ve reviewed and approved your physical proof, all that’s left is to decide how many bags you want and submit an order. Once we have at least one approved proof attached to a project, you can submit your bag order at any time. And, even after you order, we’ll save your bag project for easy future reorders, or as a template for new orders.
Once your bags are printed, we’ll get them shipped out to you right away. Standard shipping for custom bag orders is free to the US and Canada. Once your bags arrive, it’s time for the fun part: filling them with product and getting them on the shelf. We hope you love how they look. Send us a picture if you think of it. We’d love to see them in action.
