CANPACK and Art of Packaging Join Forces to Unlock Creative Possibility in Can Design

KRAKÓW, POLAND (28 May 2026) – Creativity thrives when ambition is guided by possibility, not limitation. That belief lies at the heart of CANPACK’s partnership with Art of Packaging – a collaboration designed to invite young designers, students and emerging talent to rethink what’s possible in aluminum can design.

Through this partnership, Art of Packaging and CANPACK are actively encouraging young designers to explore the aluminum can as a high‑impact creative canvas, challenging the idea that production considerations require creative compromise. The initiative provides a platform for bold concepts to be developed with real‑world application in mind, helping creative talent better understand how ambitious ideas can translate into viable packaging solutions.

CAN DESIGN MADE SIMPLE

As specialists in eight-color dry offset printing and decorative effects, CANPACK brings the expertise needed to bridge the gap between creative ambition and execution. Through the Art of Packaging platform, CANPACK is encouraging more ambitious design thinking and demonstrating how bold ideas can be brought to life as standout, production-ready results.

“Partnering with Art of Packaging allows us to go beyond visibility and focus on impact,” says Michał Schilbach, Global Marketing Manager at CANPACK. “This collaboration is an opportunity to showcase what’s possible when creativity is supported by the right technical expertise. It’s about helping designers think bigger – and showing how dry offset printing can bring their ideas to life beautifully and consistently on an aluminum can.”

INSPIRING AND EMPOWERING CREATIVITY

The partnership reflects CANPACK’s position that aluminum cans offer far more creative freedom than is often assumed. With the ability to deliver fine detail, rich color and advanced decorative effects at speed and scale, dry offset printing enables brands and designers to explore more expressive and distinctive visual ideas without compromise.

“Great can design starts with ambition,” Michał Schilbach adds. “When creative potential is understood and supported, even the most intricate concepts can be realized. That’s the mindset this partnership celebrates – and what CANPACK works to enable every day.”

The Art of Packaging Awards, established in 2006, recognize outstanding innovation and creativity in packaging design, providing a respected national platform for showcasing the industry’s most inspiring work.

The winner of the Aluminum Can Design award will be announced at the Art of Packaging Gala on 14 September 2026.
