illy Professional Packaging
THE 'FLAGSHIP' PACKAGING THAT MAKES THE COFFEE BETTER
illy only buys the top 1% of Arabica varieties grown worldwide because even one single defective bean can destroy the taste of the coffee in the cup. Since 1934 the secret of illy espresso has been the globally unique pressurised packaging it comes in.
illycaffè patented it so that the product could be shipped over long distances without being impacted. The packaging protects the roasted coffee from its two enemies: oxygen and humidity.
The container is filled with excellent coffee beans and since it is hermetically sealed, the air is removed and nitrogen is introduced at a pressure higher than atmospheric pressure. The pressurised packaging technique ensures the aroma remains fresh for up to 3 years, while at the same time this technique improves how the coffee matures within the container.
The result is a consistently high quality product with a characteristic flavour renowned for its ideal balance, broad aromatic profile, extended, sweet aftertaste and velvety body.

Focusing primarily on research, science and innovation in coffee, illycaffè has developed the 3kg professional illy packaging and has also developed the 1.5kg packaging for smaller rates of consumption. Now the well-known illy “barrel” uses cutting edge seaming technology. It’s a legally protected, unique in the market patent, and at the same time guarantees:
- Higher internal pressure to maintain excellent taste and enhance aromas.
- Guaranteed, consistent quality for up to 36 months.
- A major reduction in leaks and loss of pressure.
- Internal pressure over 5 bar and a high level of safety.
- Eco-friendly packaging, as it reduces the amount of material used, CO2 emissions by 15%, and the volume of waste.
In addition to seaming technology, illy packaging is carefully designed so that:
- Concentric circles at the base create ideal pressure.
- The expansion of the main body into vertical sections helps spread the pressure between the upper and lower parts.
- There is a uniform distribution of pressure and an increase in packaging strength.
