ALL IONIA SUGAR COLLECTIONS
03 августа 2010 | 17:57
I am collector too – my hobby is the dolphin statues that I collect for almost 15 years, so I understand very good what the word “PASSION” means...
That’s why being attacked lately by many international sugar packs collectors and fans – I decided to tell the full story of IONIA sugar collections.
I’d like to notice that now I will talk only about IONIA collections – it means “collections made by our sugar department for coffee department IONIA” (besides this we got some neutral collections – we don’t stop there…)
And then – without being modest I can tell you that there is a limited number of coffee companies in the world who have their own sugar production.
And certainly – there is NO COFFEE COMPANY in the world at all working in a such tight way with sugar as a marketing tool making constantly (every 3 months) new sugar collections as the IONIA does…
Let’s begin our sweet trip by New Year collections – the 31 December is coming always in time...
Honestly saying the design of some our early “chef-d’oeuvres” is scaring me today… It’s up to you to judge the evolution:
NEW YEAR 2005
NEW YEAR 2006
NEW YEAR 2007
NEW YEAR 2008
NEW YEAR 2009
NEW YEAR 2010
Further we go by collections name.
The first one was called “ANIMALS” and it was packed in the paper box (that’s why there is no traditional IONIA logo on the packs):
One of my favorite – “CITIES of ITALY”:
“ITALIAN CELEBRIRIES with COFFEE”:
“BUTTERFLIES” (my friends proposed me to write down on those packs the Latin names for butterflies but the scientific words were so horrible that I refused the idea…)
“AUTUMN”:
The “CARS made in ITALY” was a wonderful idea (but honestly saying the realization was too far to be good…
):
):
The pack which advertised the idea of the famous Italian home coffee maker – “MOKA BIALETTI”:
“FLOWERS” of the spring (2006 or 2007 – I don’t remember anymore…):
“CAFFE CLUB IONIA” was a very interesting project…
“VENETIAN MASKS”:
The collection “ALPHABET for CHILDREN” was double-faced - the pink side for girls
... and the blue one – for boys…
Once I remember this collection to go to some bars. My university friend called me saying “Sergio, I’m sitting in a bar, they served me your coffee with a pack of sugar. There is an elephant with the letter “E” on it – what the tricky hell is that?!” 
“WORLD BEST FOOTBALL PLAYERS” was very requested by sport bars:
Collection “SUMMER. BEACHES. SEA”:
“ASTERS” were very picturesque:
But my all time favorite for sure is “SICILY. COFFEE. MAFIA” dedicated to our web-site – www.ionia.com.ua (DO NOT MISS visiting the IONIA CAFFE QUEST there !):
Then we got quite unusual “COFFE NEW YEAR 2010” (we saw it above):
… and the mix “St.VALENTINE + 8 MARCH + ESPRESSO ITALIANO” heart-romantic collection:
Extremely creative designers of the SDC Special Design Club studio worked good with the last collection (in sale now) - “SAILING VESSELS”:
Beautiful, isn’tit? 
The only thing I can do at the end – to announce the new collection for the coming autumn…
It will be very practical sugar packs (especially in after-crisis time…
). Please, welcome – “EURO MONEY”!

). Please, welcome – “EURO MONEY”! :
Don’t put it in your wallet – you can pay your coffee with it by mistake…
N.B. There is a small trick in this collection – on EACH pack there is a hidden little coffee bean… Try to find it when you have this sugar…
Try to find it when you have this sugar…
That’s all, my friends…
The only thing I’d like to say at the end – small notice for the collectors all over the world: guys, I’m sorry but we DO NOT KEEP none of old packs neither collections…
So, remember please – the best way to have old collections is to follow the new…
