Canned water addresses global quality issues

Packaging plays a vital role in a program that aims to bring fresh water to children in desperate need in developing countries.

CannedWater4Kids is a North American-based program with global reach designed to create awareness and fund projects to purify water for children in developing nations. Coinciding with World Water Week March 22 – 28 and this year’s 50th anniversary of the first aluminum beverage can, CannedWater4Kids launched spring water in cans from Crown Cork & Seal’s  La Crosse, WI, facility, offset-printed in six colors to provide a festive appearance. Ink is supplied by INX Intl.

Printing is done directly on can bodies on a Stolle Machinery Rutherford decorator, at 2,000-can/min speeds. Printed can bodies are then shipped to Cold Spring Brewery, Cold Spring, MN, where the sparkling spring water comes from a 300-year-old underground glacier. Cold Spring, another corporate partner involved in the program, fills water into the printed can bodies, then seams on a 202-dia aluminum lid to complete the two-piece can.
