In Cuba, the packaging industry faces unique challenges due to extreme tropical humidity and saline air. For producers of coffee and tea, maintaining freshness is a critical battle against oxidation, making high-barrier coffee and tea bags essential for extending shelf life without compromising taste.
The local market has seen a shift toward convenience. With the rise of urban cafes in Havana and Santiago, there is a growing demand for drip coffee bag formats that allow consumers to enjoy premium brews without industrial equipment, bridging the gap between tradition and modern lifestyle.
Furthermore, the retail sector is transitioning away from single-use plastics. The adoption of reinforced paper carrier bags has increased as local businesses seek more breathable and eco-friendly alternatives for transporting consumer goods through busy city streets.
