The can is a convenient, accessible and affordable solution for consumers seeking quick, nutritious and high-quality food options. They are also environmentally-friendly, help reduce food waste and fuel the economy. To shed light on metal cans and their attributes, we are debunking some common myths about this popular food packaging format:
Being a good corporate citizen and neighbor is a key part of our business philosophy and we embrace the opportunity to engage in the local communities where we operate.

The best package designs appear effortless. However, behind every finished product is far more planning and precision than meets the eye. This is particularly true when it comes to designing graphics for beverage cans, which requires distinct skills and expertise to effectively translate imagery and deliver the intended quality. When created with precision, the right can designs yield a premium appearance and boost shelf appeal for brands competing for shelf space.
When creating a new beverage can, time to market is one of the most important factors for brands to take into consideration. With so many moving parts during the manufacturing process, from size selection to packaging design to filling, sealing and shipping, taking a beverage from concept to shelf can be a complex—and potentially time-consuming—process.
Today’s consumers favor greater transparency when it comes to the food and beverage products they purchase, seeking details about a product’s ingredients as well as their source, a brand’s manufacturing practices and a slew of other information. A recent Response Media study ranked the overall importance of product transparency to consumers at 99% for fresh food and 98% for packaged foods. The same study also highlighted that 70% of consumers are always, or often, influenced by the product transparency content when making a purchasing decision.

At BrauBeviale 2019, we are demonstrating how our partnership approach adds business value for brands looking to adopt metal for their product packaging. The idea is simple, but at the same time far reaching, in that we offer support, guidance and expert technical input at every stage of the manufacturing process.
Safety, innovation, and efficiency have served as the foundation of our sustainability approach since we were founded over 125 years ago. At our stand at BrauBeviale 2019 (November 11-14) (#4-237, Hall 4), attendees will learn more about our sustainability commitments along with the significant progress we’ve made against them.
In 2016, we announced a series of ambitious sustainability goals to be achieved by the end of 2020:
We are delighted to once more be attending BrauBeviale – to be held from November 11-14 in Nuremberg, Germany.
Following the past years’ experiences, Crown’s participation at BrauBeviale 2019 comes as no surprise, as the event offers the Bevcan team a great opportunity to connect with current customers, to learn about and impart knowledge on emerging trends, and to update the industry on our latest innovations in the sector.
