GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) —Some of your favorite beverages are delivered in a can, and you can thank a Greensboro company for that.
Brad Jones found that they’re now going to give those brands a whole new look that’s Made in North Carolina.
The folks at Tap Hopper are busy these days because they are a vital link between local breweries and their customers. They offer a mobile canning service that allows companies to package their product onsite.
Their newest offering will impact more than just beer, because they are seeing growth in all kinds of beverages, including teas, sodas, cocktails and hemp drinks. Instead of applying their own label or using a plastic sleeve, Tap Hopper can print graphics directly onto the can.
This gives them an edge and lets those local breweries look just like the larger national brands.
According to Patrick Sanecki, digital printing gives a much different effect. He told us, “We can get really vibrant metallic reflections on it. We can get textured colors, different feels, different glosses”.
Sanecki says the new process is the result of a partnership with CBI; the cans are printed in South Carolina, then shipped to Greensboro. Many of their 100 clients across the state will start using the new printed cans, which not only offer the new updated look, but also because they’re easier to recycle. You’ll start seeing them on store shelves around the Triad soon.
