Why coffee packaging is so important?
If the product being talked about is not coffee, then the text under this heading would encompass the importance of packaging as a marketing add-on. Because coffee is the topic here, packaging takes on more than just the role of a marketing tool.
This article lists how the packaging of coffee has a deeper meaning.
Keeping it fresh
Packaging keeps the coffee product fresh and prevents it from going bad. Packaging plays an even more important role in coffee because coffee ages more quickly than other products. As with other products, aging means losing the desired flavor. In the case of coffee, it is slightly more complicated because coffee beans also develop undesirable flavors when they are aged. The aging of coffee depends on its exposure to oxygen, moisture, light, and heat.
One-way valve bags
Coffee beans deteriorate when they come into contact with oxygen. However, protecting them from oxygen by sealing the packaging seems to be the best way to go, but another problem remains. Due to the roasting of the coffee beans, the sugar browning process is triggered. As a result of this process, the beans give off carbon dioxide. The accumulation of carbon dioxide in the sealed bag can cause it to break down
Sales promotion
As with all modern commercially produced products, coffee packaging is important for making sales pitches. The product stands out from its competitors because of its unique packaging. The packaging of the coffee allows its customers to view the contents used, or the type of coffee beans used, Arabica or Robusto; if they may have a specific preference.
To solve this problem, the roasted coffee beans are immediately packed in a moisture-free laminated bag containing a valve. The valve allows the carbon dioxide to avoid the package without allowing oxygen to enter.
Other less efficient packaging methods
However, other methods of packaging coffee exist that are not as efficient as one-way valve bag packaging. These include a pinhole package that allows the collected carbon dioxide to escape through the pinhole. With this method, the opportunity for oxygen to enter the bag is present.
Another method involves waiting for the coffee beans to release carbon dioxide before packaging. This means that although the package is saved from breaking due to the carbon dioxide that accumulates inside the bag, the coffee beans are not protected from spoilage due to exposure to oxygen.
