Packaging & Label Design for Brands in Honduras

Honduras' maquiladora textile sector, Central America's largest, supplying approximately 83% of its output to the US market as the number-one US supplier of cotton T-shirts, requires packaging that meets US retailer specifications (UPC coding, material certifications, hang-tag specifications) while domestic FMCG sales in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula require RTCA 67.01.07:10-compliant Spanish-language labelling. Coffee is Honduras' most valuable export commodity at approximately $1.39 billion (18.4% of total exports), with 5.36 million 60-kg bags exported in the 2024/25 marketing year; Honduras is Central America's largest coffee exporter and one of the world's top 10. Both coffee and palm oil packaging chains now face mandatory EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) compliance, with geo-referenced supply chain traceability documentation required as far back as December 31, 2020. Honduras is the third-largest Latin American palm oil producer, with approximately 55% of its palm oil exported to EU markets.

Honduras Packaging Regulations

RTCA 67.01.07:10 ('Etiquetado General de los Alimentos Previamente Envasados', General Labelling of Pre-packaged Foods) is the specific Central American Technical Regulation governing food labelling in Honduras, administered domestically by ARSA (Agencia de Regulación Sanitaria); ARSA published an updated Regulation for the Sanitary Control of Food and Beverages in September 2024 and also governs pharmaceutical and cosmetic product registration. Phytosanitary export certificates for coffee, banana, shrimp, and palm oil are issued by SENASA (Servicio Nacional de Sanidad Agropecuaria); separately, IHCAFE (Instituto Hondureño del Café) coordinates coffee quality certification, sustainability schemes (Rainforest Alliance, UTZ, organic), and EUDR compliance support for coffee exporters. Palm oil and coffee exporters to the EU must comply with Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 (EUDR), requiring a Due Diligence Statement submitted via the EU TRACES system with polygon-level geolocation data confirming no deforestation after December 31, 2020. Spanish is the sole official language.
