Private Label Coffee Pods: Compostable, Customizable, and On-Demand

Custom label coffee capsules: What you can personalize

Coffee pods are not only convenient for the customer, they’re also incredibly marketable.

They’re small, shippable, and perfect for bundling in subscription boxes or as branded giveaways. Plus, with the rise in demand for eco-friendly and specialty products, offering sustainable and functional options in pod form gives your brand a powerful competitive edge.

Whether you’re a hospitality group, a lifestyle brand, or a health-focused entrepreneur, YPL Coffee gives you the tools to build a product that’s 100% yours. Here’s what you can customize:

• Coffee selection: Choose from a curated selection of single-origin beans (like Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia), specialty blends, decaf, or organic certified options. You can also supply your own coffee for toll roasting or co-packing.
• Roast profile & grind size: Tailor the roast (light, medium, dark) and grind size to fit your vision and customer taste — whether it’s for a bold espresso or a smooth lungo.
• Capsule type & color: Select between aluminum or fully home compostable pods (compatible with Nespresso® machines), available in a range of up to 10 colors.
• Flavor & function add-ins: Want to infuse your capsules with flavors like vanilla or hazelnut? Or go functional with mushroom extracts (e.g., Lion’s Mane or Cordyceps)? No problem.
• Packaging: From minimalist tubes to printed boxes in various sizes (10, 14, 150, or 300 capsules), every pack can carry your own branding and message.
• Graphic design: Don’t have a designer? No worries — we’ll match you with a creative partner to develop packaging that fits your aesthetic.
   

With YPL Coffee, the customization goes far beyond just slapping a logo on a box. You’re building a coffee experience, and we’re here to make it feel like your own from start to sip.

Make your own coffee pods: How it works

Not sure how the process unfolds? Here’s a simplified breakdown of how we go from idea to espresso pod:

1. Start with a vision
   You bring your brand idea — whether you already have a logo and recipe or just a concept. We’ll guide you on bean selection, flavors, packaging, and target audience alignment.
2. Choose your coffee
   Sample different roast and blend profiles. Want something bold, fruity, or mellow? We’ll provide test capsules to help you decide.
3. Design your packaging
   Whether you opt for our standard options or a completely custom design, your packaging will reflect your brand — visually and functionally.
4. Prototype phase
   We create 3–4 test capsule versions per coffee type with different parameters. Once approved, we finalize the recipe.
5. Production & packing
   Capsules are filled, nitrogen-sealed for freshness, and packed using your selected method (bulk or branded retail-ready boxes).
6. Shipping
   Products are carefully packed on EU-compliant pallets and shipped globally from our facility in Pécs, Hungary. We can also assist with logistics if needed.
   
   

From the first call to the final shipment, the process is built to be fast, flexible, and founder-friendly.

Compostable coffee pods: Sustainable choices

Going green doesn’t mean compromising on quality — quite the opposite. At YPL Coffee, sustainability is baked into every part of our process.

• Home compostable pods
  Our Zero Impact capsules are TÜV OK Home Compost certified. Made from 100% natural biomass, they decompose in around 26 weeks in a home compost setup.
• Eco packaging materials
  From capsule to box, every part of our packaging is compostable or recyclable. For larger orders, we also offer FSC®-certified paper and recycled carton options.
• Nitrogen-sealing for freshness
  Even our preservation methods consider environmental impact. Nitrogen gas is produced on-site to minimize transport emissions and prolong shelf life.
• Responsible sourcing
  We prioritize beans from high-quality micro farms.

By choosing compostable coffee pods, your brand shows that great taste and conscious production can go hand-in-hand. It’s a value your customers will appreciate — and your competitors will notice.

Packaging & MOQ: From prototype to production

YPL Coffee was built to be accessible. You don’t need to start with hundreds of thousands of pods to get rolling.

• MOQ: Starting from 8,000 capsules, but we can scale up to millions as you grow.
• Capsule customization: Minimum order for color customization is 100,000 pods per color.
• Test capsule production: Optional test capsule runs are available as a standalone service or credited toward larger orders.
• Packaging: Retail-ready options include boxes of 10, 14, 150, or 300 capsules, as well as bulk packs of 2,000. Custom box design is fully supported.
• Lead time: Production turnaround is typically 3-4 weeks for orders under 50,000 units. Larger volumes or fully custom requests may take 4+ weeks.
  
  

Our setup is ideal for startups and growing brands alike — get started without overcommitting, then scale confidently.
