If you a looking to box it, then a cardboard/box company to start with. I see at Christmas time you can purchase multiple boxes, also for weddings, so somebody makes them in mass quantity. If you need a logo/poster wrapping, you need to come up with a good picture ie: nice looking cup of coffee with some java beans, steam rising. Brown tones, very classic look. Then you need to find a printer/manufacturer who is going to print them on the boxes for example, dicker with prices. The first initial order is usually the most expensive because of the template thing. If it's to display, baskets are popular, so are little wooden crates, with sandy/yellow straw and raffia. A nice mug, assorted coffee samples and a few other goodies, not too many, keep the focus on your product. Just a suggestion, not sure if I'm in the right ballpark?

Sorry about that, I think I have the wrong product. What about some kind of kit bag or box? Since it is travel size, something like men's shaving kit bag? You don't happen to have a picture of what you are talking about....

Some kind of padded zipper or velcro bag, thats going to protect your coffee maker, or you can go the other way and use some kind of molded plastic....probably need to see a plastic manufacturer or soft kit bag manufacturer. Maybe a compartment(s) for a small amount of supplies. I know that there are manufacturers out there that make generic bags/kit boxes.
