Seth Ciferri has been making custom tattoo machines since 1994 creating a range of unique liners and shaders. One of his latest is the "Light Roast" liner and in keeping with the roast theme, Seth partnered with fellow Portland business Courier Coffee Roasters to create a special packaging that combines the liner with ½ pound of coffee. Bringing together the two entities was Keegan Wenkman, who created some lovely lettering and illustration compositions for each, and printing those on a kraft paper bag. The result is something we will call Rustic Independent Chic. Or not. Point being, it's very nice. And, also, very hard as Keegan shares:

It's terribly hard to print letterpress coffee bags, but possible. I had to build a jig of masking tape to fill the gap in the bag from its side folds in order to get a reasonable print… lots of fun though… its was low run, hand-fed and duo-tone, which made everything better.

nice work. The illustrations and lettering give the piece a great feel.

Great job making something that is difficult from a technical standpoint look very easy. As always, your illustrations are exquisite!

seriously great work, love a tone on tone letterpress.

Great work on the design + relevancy. The materials, letter pressing and illustration technique all play off of one another to make one solid package design. My only wish is that I could see more of the pattern across the whole front/back of the bag.

Nice work guys! Keep up the great work Joel!
