Paper and board manufacturer Detpak has launched a collection of PE-lined cups featuring imagery inspired by coffee-producing nations.

Inspired by the architecture, textiles, and traditions of countries such as Guatemala, Cuba, and Mexico, the cups draw consumers' attention to the coffee's origin through three different designs.

Branded Detpak Coffee Origins Cup Gallery, the range reflects Detpak’s vision to make a positive and sustainable impact overseas by supporting social change.

Detpak’s group marketing manager Shane Fuller said five per cent of cup sales contributes to partner organisations working to improve the health, education and food security of families in rural coffee growing communities.

The first charity is Guatemalan-based Pueblo a Pueblo, which is focused on sustainable programs to improve the lives of people in coffee-growing communities.

As the Detpak Coffee Origins Cup Gallery evolves, more countries will be added to the collection, and Detpak will team with more charities to create social change.

The gallery will be showcased at the Melbourne International Coffee Expo this week.
