PHILADELPHIA, June 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- It has been 22
years since the iconic Barbasol Shaving Cream can appeared in the
original Jurassic Park film as a vessel for smuggling
dinosaur embryos. To support the long-awaited next installment of
Steven Spielberg's groundbreaking
Jurassic Park series, Perio, Inc. (Parent company of
Barbasol) worked with Crown Aerosols North America, a business unit
of Crown Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CCK) (Crown) (www.crowncork.com), to
print two unique, limited-edition shaving cream cans to represent
the new Jurassic World film.
"Not only are we thrilled about our partnership with Universal
Pictures to celebrate the new Jurassic World film," said
Sarah Paulson, Brand Manager with
Perio, Inc., "but we are also excited to work with Crown to capture
these unique designs on our cans."
Crown's Midwest Graphics Lithography Center worked closely with
Perio, Inc. to ensure that each of the cans, which feature
Velociraptors and Pteranodons illustrations integrated with the
recognizable Barbasol shaving cream striped packaging, were printed
according to the designs created by artist Mark Englert. Englert is the same artist whom
Universal Pictures enlisted to create Jurassic World movie posters
for last year's San Diego Comic-Con.
Just recently, the effort made by Crown's team to meticulously
print the limited-edition Jurassic World Barbasol cans was
recognized by the International Metal Decorators Association
(IMDA). Crown received the 'Excellence in Quality' award at the
IMDA show in May 2015. "We had a lot
of fun working on this project with Perio, Inc.," explains
Melissa Quintana, Marketing Manager
with Crown Aerosols North America. "Everyone on our team, from
printing to manufacturing, took pride in showcasing the new film in
the iconic series"
The new, limited-edition Jurassic World Barbasol cans be
found now at select retailers everywhere, while supplies last. The
Jurassic World film opens in theaters nationwide on
June 12, 2015.
