Interlocking Cans Market

Interlocking Cans Packaging

Interlocking cans have been introduced by Grupo Modelo as an attempt to reduce plastic waste generated by use of 6 pack plastic rings. The interlocking cans are threaded at the top and bottom to add a container to either side. The treads can hold up to 10 cans at a time. This innovation in packaging is called as “Fit pack” and was the brain child of Grupo Modelo and American advertising agency Leo Burnett. The design has been made open-source for the industry to use.

This will create a positive impact on the environment and help in reducing the amount of plastic waste created. The Grupo Modelo has been working towards a sustainable packaging method, the plastic free bio-degradable option is a predecessor of the interlocking cans idea.

The verdict on adaptation of interlocking cans will rest on its feasibility, as the work on fit pack is still at a nascent stage.

The interlocking cans will be developed on an industrial scale after the pilot batch of cans are manufactured. The pilot batch for interlocking cans will help in determining the problems involved in making the product, changes needed in the machinery, regulation needed for packaging and safety measures needed to be taken during transportation and user-friendliness of the idea.
