Ron Skotleski, director of marketing at Crown North America, added: “The primary purpose of any packaging is to protect and conveniently deliver a product to the end consumer. These craft GABF medalists have tremendous products in our cans, and Crown’s goal is to help differentiate their best-in-class beer with cans and innovative graphics.”
