Awesome Coffee Packaging Designs Inspiration

There is nothing like waking up in the morning to the wonderful smell of coffee!

Coffee is the most popular beverage in the world with more than 400 billion cups consumed each year. It is also the most popular drug in the world since it contains caffeine, the stimulant that gives you that “lift”. It is grown in more than 50 countries in South and Central America, Asia, Africa and the Caribbean, and after oil, coffee is the world’s second-most-valuable commodity exported by developing countries.

Scandinavia boasts the highest per-capita coffee consumption in the world: on average, people in Finland drink more than four cups of coffee a day.

But coffee doesn't only have the ability to keep us awake longer. As studies show, it can also "heal" our body. A study done by a Swedish University showed, for instance, that drinking coffee reduces the risk of breast cancer. And according to another study, this time from the renowned Harvard University, drinking 6 cups of coffee a day reduces the chances of getting sick by 60%.

Coffee usually comes in nice and sophisticated packaging; here is a list which showcases some of the best designs that capture the essence of the most beloved “pick-me-up.”
