CCL Container, North America’s leading producer of impact extruded aluminum packaging, was recently recognized with three awards at the 2005 Can of the Year (COY) Awards Ceremony, an annual event for the world's metal container manufacturers. In securing three awards, CCL Container won top honors for totals awards received.
The COY Awards celebrate worldwide achievement in the competitive world of metal packaging. The show, hosted by CanMaker Magazine, a leading trade publication for the container industry, was held September 8 in Barcelona, Spain.
CCL minted gold in the food category for Trimspa/Winfuel, took home the silver in the new re-sealable beverage container category for Cadbury Beverage Americas Snapple Elements redesign, and won silver in the aerosol category for Proctor & Gamble’s Febreze Air Effects.
TRIMSPA® and Winfuel™ are two hip, dietary/nutritional products marketed by Goen Technologies. Both products gained a competitive edge and shelf-appeal through unique packaging in the form of chunky, boldly decorated, aluminum bottles. The high-performance packaging not only delivered distinction at point-of-sale, but also reflected the products’ edgy personality. Goen Technologies was the first supplements products marketer to introduce aluminum bottles to its product line.
Snapple Elements energy drink, also marketed in an aluminum bottle, was acknowledged for its extreme graphics and contoured easy grip, ideal for the product’s target audience of young people with active lifestyles.
Febreze Air Effects is the first air-sanitizing product ever marketed in a shaped aluminum aerosol container. The unique bullet-shaped Febreze packaging utilizes CCL Container’s Trimline design, and includes a proprietary high performance internal lining. The ergonomic 59mm container represents advancement in the marriage of high-speed production and container size. Previously, shaped aerosol containers had been produced at high speed, but in smaller diameters.
“We are grateful to be recognized again at Can of the Year Awards,” said CCL Vice President of Sales and Marketing Ed Martin. “These awards represent not only the great package development team at CCL, but also great customers that are willing to embrace creativity, push technology, and ultimately take their packaging, and their brands, to a higher level. Considering the many outstanding entries from around the world, we are extremely pleased to win in three very distinct categories.”

This marks the third consecutive year that CCL Container was honored at the COY Awards. In 2004, CCL took silver in the aerosol category for Belvedere Funkifier in CCL’s Trimwave container. CCL also won two awards in 2003: Gold in the Beverage Category for Cadbury Beverage America’s Mistic RE aluminum bottle, and silver in the Aerosol Category for Sally Beauty’s “Beyond the Zone” product, which featured CCL’s Extended Neck Trimline™ design.
