The new lightweight cans feature ‘cold activation’ graphics using thermo-chromic ink by inks and coatings manufacturer Chromatic Technologies.
According to Ball, the bubbles on the can graphics turn from white to blue, when cans reach a temperature of 8°C, indicating that the beverage inside is at the optimal temperature for drinking.
The new cold-activated cans contain an average of 68% recycled aluminium and are completely recyclable.
Hiball president Todd Berardi said the choice to move from 10oz glass bottles to 16oz aluminium cans is the result of consumer demand for a larger size with a more portable packaging option.
