Canpack partners with Art of Packaging

Canpack has announced it is joining forces with Art of Packaging – a collaboration designed to invite young designers, students and emerging talent to rethink what’s possible in aluminium can design.

Through this partnership, Art of Packaging and Canpack are actively encouraging young designers to explore the aluminium can as a high‑impact creative canvas, challenging the idea that production considerations require creative compromise. The initiative provides a platform for bold concepts to be developed with real‑world application in mind, helping creative talent better understand how ambitious ideas can translate into viable packaging solutions.

As a specialist in eight-colour dry offset printing and decorative effects, Canpack brings the expertise needed to bridge the gap between creative ambition and execution. Through the Art of Packaging platform, Canpack is encouraging more ambitious design thinking and demonstrating how bold ideas can be brought to life as standout, production-ready results.

“Partnering with Art of Packaging allows us to go beyond visibility and focus on impact,” said Michał Schilbach, global marketing manager at Canpack. “This collaboration is an opportunity to showcase what’s possible when creativity is supported by the right technical expertise. It’s about helping designers think bigger – and showing how dry offset printing can bring their ideas to life beautifully and consistently on an aluminium can.”

He added: “Great can design starts with ambition. When creative potential is understood and supported, even the most intricate concepts can be realised. That’s the mindset this partnership celebrates – and what Canpack works to enable every day.”

The Art of Packaging Awards, established in 2006, recognise outstanding innovation and creativity in packaging design, providing a respected national platform for showcasing the industry’s most inspiring work.

The winner of the Aluminium Can Design award will be announced at the Art of Packaging Gala on 14 September 2026.
