German group JJ Darboven has designed a new steel coffee can for its Warca brand. The product is the result of a joint partnership between JJ Darboven, French canmaker Corepe and French designer Design Développement. The can has a distinctive curved shape, which according to JJ Darboven, allows for easy handling.
The steel used to pack the product, together with the hermetic closure, preserves the quality of the coffee. The closure is made of polypropylene and has a 'double open easy' system that allows for a partial opening of the can to pour out the measure.
In order to be able to reuse the can afterwards, the cover can be removed so that the can is completely open. The lid of the can allows the user to measure the quantity of coffee according to his taste.
French canmaker Corepe was responsible for the concept and production of both the can body and the innovative 'double open easy' cap. The can was produced by a process of mechanical expansion on a traditional, welded can, with embossing on the image of the coffee cup and the steam which appears on the front.

As the decision to purchase a product is frequently made on the appeal and attractiveness of its packaging, more and more firms are choose to process packaging twice to achieve best results, says French foil group Kurtz.
The company, which has developed stamping foil systems especially for overprinting, demonstrated this technique at Drupa 2004.
First, the foil packaging is hot stamped before being overprinted. This process was presented at a live demonstration at the event.
On a Nilpeter narrow web-printing machine, beverage bottle labels were decorated with cold stamping foil in rotary application. This, says Kurtz, gave visitors a close up view of how plastics can be upgraded with a metallised stamping foil using the flexo printing process.
Cold stamping has undergone continuous development over the past years and today the process is well established and used successfully in, amongst others, the label sector. Kurtz believes that the cost-effectiveness of cold stamping has increased the size of its potential market to include products that typically have not been decorated in the past.
