Monster Energy drinks in resealable cans
Monster Energy, Corona, Calif., has launched 550 ml Monster Import in resealable cans from Ball Corporation. The cans feature the Ball Resealable End (BRE) and are supplied by Ball Packaging Europe, filled in The Netherlands and imported to the U.S. for sale.
The BRE is a revolutionary aluminum can end with an integrated flat opening mechanism made of plastic. The can is opened by simply turning the mechanism and is easily sealed again by turning it back.
Cans featuring the BRE were first introduced in Europe in 2008 and caught Monster’s eye last summer at the Spanish Moto GP.
The resealable beverage can is the result of close cooperation between Ball Packaging Europe, Coca-Cola and the Dutch company Bound2B B.V. Antonio Perra, managing director and partner in Bound2B B.V., invented the resealable can end and developed it to market maturity together with Ball Packaging Europe.
