The Search

The good news is that I think I've found a way to ship beans anywhere in the States for $5.50,
So that's sweet.
But the downside is that our bags don't fit into those boxes.
Well, I guess they could fit,
but not nicely.

So the next step is that I need to figure out another way to contain the beans.
I thought about making something
like a bag or pouch or something.
But that seems a bit too labor intensive.
Like the boxes that I was making and sending out with every bag.
Those things take a long time to whip up.
I got better at them
but they were still a lot of work.
The thought of making bags seemed like it would be too much.

But then I thought that maybe I'd put the coffee into a plastic bag
and then include the paper bag in the box
so that then you receive the beans you'd just pour them from the plastic bag into the paper bag.
The drawbacks to that idea are painfully evident.
The whole art to putting together a package
the actual thing that you get
isn't assembled
nor does it look good.
Scratch that.

So I guess that's where I'm at.
I need to find a container for the beans
that looks good
fits our style or whatever
and fits a flat rate box A from the United States Post Office.
That's a tall order.

But I'm going-a-looking.
I'll tell you what I find.
