Packaging of the week: Greater Convenience for Anchovy Packaging

Crown's new PeelSeam™ provides consumers more convenient access to traditional rectangular metal packaging for anchovies. Introduced on this market by CROWN Food Europe, a business unit of Crown Holdings Inc., the PeelSeam™ easy-open feature on anchovy cans offers a clear advantage for brand owners aiming for greater shelf impact, and has been developed in response to a growing trend in the European fish can market.

The anchovy PeelSeam™ end consists of a thin flexible foil heat-sealed to a rigid steel ring for conventional double seaming onto standard containers and requires no adjustment to tooling or seaming processes.

PeelSeam™ ends offer consumers an alternative easy and safe way to open metal containers.
