50 Years On, Moon Landing Occasions Inspiring Tin Pack

To help celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing, Independent Can and MoonPie partnered with the Kennedy Space Center for a unique treat.

For a full week this past July, the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex (KSCVC) in Florida celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo Moon Landing. What better way to celebrate than with a chocolatey MoonPie in a collectable tin?

The KSCVC partnered with Independent Can and Chattanooga Bakery (known for its MoonPie brand) to create an appropriate treat in a commemorative tin to be given to visitors and VIP guests at all of the events through the week. The product was also featured at gift shops throughout the KSCVC and at the Apollo/Saturn V Center.

Using photos and graphics provided by NASA, and the MoonPie logo provided by Chattanooga Bakery, Kait Bischoff, marketing coordinator and graphic designer, Independent Can, designed the imagery and messaging for the 50th anniversary tin. The 4.75 in. by 1.25 in. drawn can would be manually filled with a chocolate single-decker MoonPie. A shrink overwrap was not necessary since the MoonPie within the tin was sealed in film at the bakery.
