Coffee is one of the most popular beverages in the western world. It comes in numerous flavors and forms. It can be used as a flavor to prepare other beverages and desserts. This results in a huge demand for coffee. The latest statistics from the National Coffee Association in the United States show the consumption of coffee increased by seven per cent in 2012 compared to 2011. Coffee is a several billion dollar industry in the U.S. and Americans drink millions of cups of coffee each year. This coffee does not come straight to people's cups from factories. It needs to be packaged properly. When it comes to coffee packaging, there is no dearth of options available.
Glass jars and rigid containers are the traditional ways to package coffee. Currently a new trend is fast emerging in the coffee world: coffee pouches. These pouches can be designed to keep the aroma of coffee beans or powered coffee intact. Another advantage of these pouches is their extreme customizability. You can use side gussets, flat bottoms, and various colors and materials to suit your requirements. A plastic pouch of this kind is also less costly to produce than glass jars and is more environment friendly.
