KeelClip won the top Sustainable Packaging Award when the Institute of Packaging Professionals announced their 2020 AmeriStar 2020 Award Winners. Developed by Graphic Packaging International, KeelClip is a unique paperboard design that not only replaces plastic rings, top clips, and shrink wrap multipacks for cans; it also offers merchandising benefits that similar beverage packaging does not. The concept combines an efficient paperboard lid that covers the tops of the cans. A paperboard flap attached underneath the center of the lid slips in between the two rows of cans. This flap provides stability to the pack in much the same way that the keel provides stability to a sailboat. KeelClip works with the widest range of cans and multi-count configurations and at the speeds required by large beverage operations, allowing brand owners to present a premium and sustainable image with a billboard for branding and can orientation.
