Yesterday, on 12th of November, CROWN Speciality Packaging Europe, a business unit of Crown Holdings, Inc., was honored with two awards in the Design and Packaging category at the 2009 International Spirits Challenge.
The company’s Gold Award was a result of innovative metal packaging designed for the Bruichladdich Distillery’s Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky while its Commended award was received for a unique perforated tin created for Jack Daniel’s.
The stunning Jack Daniel’s tin features a complex design with a part perforated surface of 9,000 holes and a deep black color, creating a luxurious look for added shelf appeal. The perforated surface allows an inside glimpse of the iconic bottle without the need for a plastic window, which would reduce recycling rates. The lid fit is controlled by the use of special pips on the lid and body wall, which enables the outward curl lid to click onto the body. This feature provides for easy opening for consumers yet prevents the lid from opening throughout the supply chain for product protection.
CROWN Speciality Packaging produces and designs high-quality metal packaging for companies in the perfume, cosmetics, wine and spirits, non processed food, confectionery, DIY and industrial markets.
