Ardagh food can wins award

A can produced by the Ardagh Group has been recognised at the iF Packaging Design Awards in Munich, Germany.

The can for Conserve Italia’s Cirio brand is the first for vegetables available in a two-piece bowl format, according to Ardagh.

The company impressed the jury with the convenience of its two-piece metal bowl with Easy Peel.

Smaller and more attractive, the new design provides a differentiation from standard food cans aiming at consumers looking for a healthy snack between meals, and those eating on the go. The small container is easy to hold, to open and to eat from. The Easy Peel closure conveys a fresh and healthy image of the product and brand owners can use their existing closure equipment with only minor modifications. Metal gives the product a longer shelf life without having to chill or use preservatives. All of the important vitamins remain intact and metal is also 100% recyclable.

“We pride ourselves in producing sustainable and versatile packaging solutions, and to gain such prestigious recognition for new product developments in metal is testament to our commitment to design innovation,” says Ardagh Group CEO, Niall Wall.

The product is featured online in the iF online exhibition and in the iF yearbook on communication and packaging 2012.
