Lost Origin
Panama, Chevas Estate — Helio Gazer
01 — The brief
Packaging for coffee processed in a lab.
Lost Origin is a coffee lab in Panama City, set up by craft brewers who use controlled fermentation to process cherries from Panamanian farms. Its coffees sit well above Stitch Coffee’s standard range, so they needed packaging to match.
The box and info card had to feel expensive and reflect the scientific nature of the processing.
02 — Process
Designed like a textbook.
The typography is minimal and modelled on textbooks, which leaves the finishes to carry the premium feel: holographic foil and debossing. On the info card, roast, acidity and sweetness are plotted as scientific graphs.
Fig. 1–2 — Box; side detail
- Box. Minimal typography with holographic foil and debossing.
- Info card. Unique to each release, with graphs for roast, acidity and sweetness.
- Label. A thin adhesive band that wraps the box and doubles as a seal.
03 — Each release
One box, a new card and label each time.
The box stays constant across releases. Each new lot gets its own info card and label, so the range grows without the packaging being redesigned.
