PHILADELPHIA, June 13, 2017
/PRNewswire/ -- Crown Closures North America, a business unit of
Crown Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CCK) (www.crowncork.com), was
recognized at this year's International Metal Decorators
Association (IMDA) annual conference. Crown's production of 82mm Twist metal
closures for Margarita's Amigos salsa earned the 'Best of
Category' award within the Closures and Ends group.
Margarita's Amigos approached Crown seeking a partner that could print and
manufacture their salsa closure as they had originally intended.
"We recognized from the start that Margarita's Amigos was pursuing high quality
printing to make sure their packaging continues to help grow their
brand," said Eric Meyer, Vice
President of Sales and Marketing for Crown Closures North America.
"Our goal was to deliver a printed metal closure that accentuated
their brand while highlighting their heritage and signature colors
so the closure could be used on all their salsa products."
The 82mm vacuum twist closure was printed at Crown's Weirton,
West Virginia lithograph facility and manufactured in
Crown's Connellsville, Pennsylvania metal closures
plant.
Metal packaging designs from around the world compete for IMDA
honors in eight categories, including Aerosol, Closures, Food,
Specialty, Two-Piece and Technical Achievement. Participants are
judged by an impartial panel comprised of graphic arts
professionals, and entries are based on criteria including printing
quality, degree of difficulty, appearance of coating finishes,
registration, and degree of technical expertise required.
