Ball Corp.
Ball Corp. has unveiled the 360° aluminum aerosol can, a new
technology to custom shape and contour, either symmetrically
or asymmetrically, the full circumference of a can. 360° invites
consumers to see and touch the cans on the shelf, especially
when paired with Ball’s graphics and embossing expertise. The
recessed area can also provide ergonomic benefits to the customer,
such as enhanced grip. The 360° can is also recyclable.
