Canadian syrup producer Dominion & Grimm and Crown Food Packaging North America have worked to develop a new recyclable metal can, which extends the shelf life of the product.
Dominion & Grimm Ontario-BC sales manager Heather Clark said the can is a better format for syrup and is imperative for driving the purchase at the point of sale.
"Crown has proven to be an ideal supplier for many reasons, not least of which is outstanding customer service," Clark said.
The packaging company has been instrumental in package design, assisting with printing adjustments and cost savings as well as helping Dominion to maintain the 'sugar shack' imagery.
The syrup is boiled and packaged in cans which are hermetically sealed, eliminating the possibility that air or pathogens can enter, and protecting the product's flavor.
According to Crown, metal cans are shelf stable and do not require refrigeration and no extra energy is expended to keep the product from spoiling. They are tamper-proof and resilient.
