Over the last two years, we've seen an influx of transparent, clear, frosted, EVOH coffee packaging on the market. With the change in coffee trends, here's why this specific bag has been growing in popularity and if this is a right coffee bag for your business.
EVOH packaging has been popular in Europe for the last couple of years. The switch in coffee packaging in the USA is due to the growing inspiration many of the coffee roasters and shops find abroad as well as within the USA. USA companies like Metric Coffee are coffee packaging trendsetters and whom many new coffee roasters and shops draw inspiration from. Check out some photos below:
