The labels are printed by Inland Label & Marketing Services (www.inlandprinting.com) using Chromazone™ thermochromic ink from LCR/Hallcrest, LLC (www.hallcrest.com).
“Coors Light is the world’s most refreshing beer and this addresses consumers’ desire for the coldest, most refreshing beer,” says Andy England, Coor’s chief marketing officer. “Our latest innovations continue to raise the bar by delivering on our promise to provide the world’s most refreshing beer no matter where our consumers decide to enjoy a cold Coors Light.”
A first of its kind for Coors, the Cold Activated Bottle is used for 12-oz Coors and Coors Light, according to Coors spokesperson Jennifer Volanakis.
Consumers tend to keep their refrigerators set to between 40º and 45º F, so the label color starts to change around 48º F and is at full color between 40º and 44º F, indicating the beer has reached the perfect temperature, Volanakis explains. “It is at this full color where we want consumers to experience Coors Light,” says Volanakis, noting that the color change is reversible.
Cold Activated Bottles are available nationwide through summer in participating bars, restaurants, grocery, and liquor stores.
