Welcome to this year’s edition of Innovations, from The Canmaker magazine.
Longer-term readers of the magazine will know what to expect, but for those of you unfamiliar with Innovations, you’ll find the publication is broadly divided into
two sections.
The first half covers all the entries into The Cans of the Year Awards 2023, with particular focus on the winners of the Gold, Silver and Bronze titles in each of the categories. Those categories encompass the full spectrum of rigid metal packaging, from beverage, aerosol and food cans, through to metal caps, lids, and prototypes that are currently working their way to market.
Whether you’re relatively new to metal packaging, or are a long-term member of the industry familiar with the state of the art, you’ll most likely be pretty impressed with the range of technologies currently being employed.
You’ll then, in the second half of Innovations, be able to read about the engineering developments that make possible the production of such impressive end results. Based on reports run in the previous
12 monthly issues of The Canmaker, it provides a guide to the latest systems available to canmakers to optimise and enhance their operations.
