The challenge

Fieldnote had outgrown its hand-stamped bags. With a grocery deal on the table, they needed packaging that could scale to dozens of seasonal origins without a designer touching every SKU.

The brand also had to stand out on crowded shelves while keeping the quiet, crafted feel loyal customers loved.

Our approach

We built the identity around a single idea: every bag is a page from a field notebook. A flexible grid holds the origin, tasting notes and roast date, while a color band changes with each region.

A Figma template and print-ready guidelines let Fieldnote's team launch a new origin in under an hour. We tested the system with the printer on three paper stocks before rollout.

Team: Inês Duarte, Tomás Reis, Sofia Marques

“Lumen gave us a system, not just a pretty bag. We launched nine origins this year without a single agency invoice.”
