The round, flexible stand-up pouch is an easy-to-open refill package that preserves the coffee aroma, easily fits into a 250g Illy metal can and reduces packaging weight by 80 percent. In addition to its high functionality, the clever design and eye catching appearance ensure an outstanding product presentation.

The brand was launched in slim-look profile pouches, a new concept in the beverage market segment in India, in line with the health focused concept of the drink. The spout feature provides ready-to-drink functionality and together with a matte effect, the pouch provides a distinctive presence to the product.

The WorldStar Awards competition is organized by the World Packaging Organisation and recognizes packaging excellence on a global level. WorldStar recognitions are presented only to those packages which, having already won an award in a national competition, are compared by an expert panel of judges to similar packages from around the world. Awards are based on the judges' consensus that a package is superior in its own right, and better in its class in execution or innovation by comparison. The 2017 WorldStar Awards were judged in Vienna, by a panel of global experts.
