bdahlgren@crowncork.com

Earlier this year, SC Johnson launched Air Infusions™, a premium line of air fresheners, in unique shaped containers from CROWN Aerosol Packaging, a subsidiary of Crown Holdings, Inc.

The sleek container was designed to reinforce the subtle and elegant aromas of the brand fragrances. Delicate floral designs adorn each package, further enhancing visual appeal. Consumers also benefit from the container’s easy-to-grip shape which facilitates product dispensing.

The ability to create this high impact design results from Crown’s proprietary blowforming process, which maximizes container integrity and product protection. During this process, no tooling or liquid is inside the container, preventing damage to internal coatings. Unlike other shaping techniques, such as mechanical expansion and water jet forming, blowforming also maintains a better surface finish and glossiness of the final package.

Gilbreth/Scentisphere

(914) 686-2400

Gilbreth introduces the first ever shrink sleeve labels that release scent when gently rubbed. The shrink sleeves are printed with Scentisphere’s Rub’nSmell® scented varnish thereby encouraging consumers to test products without damaging the package or tampering with the contents. Rub’nSmell can be applied to shrink sleeve labels or security bands offering marketers of scented products a more compelling advertising message at point of sale. Since Rub’nSmell is applied in-line as an overprint varnish, it becomes one of the most affordable methods of increasing sales.
Another innovation from Gilbreth in shrink sleeves features the use of EarthFirst® PLA film. This is a corn based film that allows the package to meet sustainable packaging directives set forth by many retailers. EarthFirst PLA film exhibits excellent printability, low initiation temperature, high shrink, and is 100% compostable.

Not only will your package smell great, now you can feel good about it too!

SecureID® products address the need for easy-to-use, high-security products for product and brand protection. They typically are offered in a ready-to-use label/seal form, in a range of bright metallic colors and shapes, customized for your application.

SecureID® security devices are custom designed for each specific project, with a unique covert(hidden) message—for your product or brand. The message is visually authenticated, as it clearly appears upon peeling, cutting, or puncturing of the label/seal; it may include your logo or other graphics, or a simple tamper-indicating message. Multiple levels of security can be added via bar codes, serialization and other security technologies (e.g. holograms, security inks, embossing)
Technology and manufacturing practices ensure that your covert message cannot be counterfeited.

The essence of the SecureID® technology is formation of a covert (hidden) message in a deeply-colored, ultra-thin metallic layer on the surface of the self-adhering security seal/label. The covert message may include your logo or other graphics, or simply a tamper-indicating message. SecureID® seals/labels remove cleanly, without leaving any messy adhesive residue!
