AEROBAL Awards focus on enhanced designs in aluminum cans. The International Organization of Aluminum Aerosol Container Manufacturers (AEROBAL) announced the winner of this year’s World Aluminum Aerosol Can Award competition. The panel of judges consisted of editors of 12 leading international packaging publications from five continents. The award for Products Already on the Market went to Tubex of Germany for its aluminum aerosol can for the Wellaflex brand. In the middle of the can is a break in the embossing around a large W and F. This creates space to print the brand name “Wellaflex,” which helps attract attention at the point of sale and offer the consumer a tactile experience. The rate of production is not any lower than it is for a conventional can without embossing. The first prize in the Prototypes category also went to Tubex for its “Autumn” aerosol can. Digital printing reproduces a photo-realistic image of a young woman with extremely fine nuances in the skin tones right down to the highlights in her cheekbones. The autumnally colored leaves are in contrast to the intensive color of her black hair. “The jury’s decision is a clear indication of where the development of the aerosol can is heading,” commented Gregor Spengler, Secretary General of AEROBAL. “In addition to its unique barrier properties, its high standards of reliability and quality as a result of it being a one-piece can, and its good recyclability, the aluminum can scores above all because of the interesting possibilities it offers when it comes to printing and shaping. Here it increasingly makes greater use of its advantages over other comparable forms of packaging. For the client’s marketing activities, it offers a whole host of additional opportunities to convey visual effects and brand images and to appeal to customers emotionally and effectively at the point of sale.” SPRAY Wellaflex Autumn December 2013 Spray 29 Complete Packaging Line Success Pressure crimper with integrated standard/BOV placer As a leading global supplier of aerosol and spray packaging equipment since 1948, we have the knowledge, the proven technology and the total system support to cover all your aerosol filling needs.
