Some coffee consumers are eager to understand the origins of their brews and value packaging that provides insight into the producers, and with them in mind, Onyx Coffee Lab debuted retail coffee packaging designed to deepen customer connections to the product's story.
The specialty coffee leader's new environmentally friendly boxes spotlight countries of origin and include interactive components that engage coffee drinkers who appreciate convenience, enhanced customer service and sustainability. On the interactive cards for single-origin offerings, customers will find detailed information about the farmer, the region and the process that brings each batch to fruition. With scannable codes, the producer-focused coffee packaging provides access to videos, interviews and immersive content to enhance coffee lovers' relationship with the Arkansas-based specialty coffee roaster's comforting coffee products like the Southern Weather blend.
