Pooki’s Mahi has announced a partnership with leading environmentally packaging firm, Salazar Packaging to transition the original standup pouches to the Frustration-Free packaging for the original 100% Kona coffee single serves for K-cup brewers.
No date to when the new packaging will be available. “One of Pooki’s Mahi’s goals is to minimize Pooki’s Mahi’s environment footprint by designing reusable packaging that is landfill ready, biodegradable and recyclable.
The original standup pouches were easy to pack; however it added additional costs and packaging when Pooki’s Mahi’s 100% Kona coffee single serves were shipped to the customer.
We extended the partnership with Salazar Packaging because they are the leading environmentally friendly packaging designer and supplier. Salazar Packaging designed packaging for the new environmentally friendly single serves that earned Frustration-Free and Ecommerce Packaging certification,” says Pooki’s Mahi’s Founder/CEO Les Magsalay-Zeller
Les explains, “We weren’t looking for a packaging supplier that created the outside marketing text for a box; we were looking for a partner that provided expert guidance on designing packaging that is structurally sound that can stand potential shipping damages.
As a startup environmentally friendly packaging can be costly. Salazar Packaging and Globe Products helped Pooki’s Mahi achieved our target material cost in the tight schedule without sacrificing quality.”

• Easy to open
• 100% recyclable and less packaging waste
• Protects Pooki’s Mahi’s 100% Kona coffee single serves for K-cup® brewers from shipping damages.
