"Make haste slowly" is a proverb originating from Roman times and was famously associated with the influential Medici family. It emphasizes the importance of doing one's work deliberately and carefully. This powerful message, which has resonated through empires and eras, inspired co-founders Michael and Alison and created the coffee institution, Medici Roasting, in 2006.
Two decades later, besides their charming first café at West Lynn, Medici Roasting has established 5 more brick-and-mortar locations across Austin, Texas. One of these shops is their roastery at Springdale General, where they roast, package, and deliver their signature coffee creations.
As a brand that strives for excellence in everything they do, choosing a packaging partner that allows them to showcase Medici’s brand identity creatively while keeping their commitment to sustainability in mind, is important. So they partner with noissue for their coffee packaging needs, from beans to drinks. Read on to learn more!
Tell us a bit about your brand!
Our name honors the Medici family of Florentine history – perhaps the most famous patrons of arts, humanities, and conversation. They are not our idols or ancestors, but an icon and lesson. An undeniable force of human progress of the mind.
We are committed to the craft of this magical, life-giving, culture-creating bean. We are dedicated to roasting, serving, and shipping excellent coffee. We want every cup to be cared for and labored over with a passion that you are invited to experience.
Like the Medici's pushing forward our understanding and appreciation of the world, we find that our life’s work is to endeavor to know ourselves, understand and support our community, and to reckon with the paradoxes of our life – reality is objective but our experience of it is subjective. Life can feel long and short. Loved ones are born and die, reminding us to savor each opportunity – every moment.
Tell us about the design for your packaging and how you’re using them?
We use noissue’s compostable heat sealable bags, paper to-go cups, and plastic to-go cups. We use these products to package and serve coffee, tea, and other beverages in a variety of forms.
These products are important to our brand because they help us to communicate what we’re about outside of our physical or online spaces. They’re also best in class materials and we wouldn’t want to use anything less than.
What made noissue a good fit for your packaging?
We chose to work with noissue because of their forward thinking ideals, competitive pricing, and wide array of product offerings. We also love that there’s no compromise between sustainability and product quality.
