Thermochromic tabs make chilled cans colorful and easy to spot
Thermochromic inks have found a range of applications in beverage packaging, but a new use on tab ends may be said to literally top them all.
The temperature-sensitive, color-changing inks from Chromatic Technologies Inc. (CTI), available in red, green or blue colors, are the result of three years of R&D intended to make the inks and tabs:
Be meaningful to consumers;
Affordable for brands; and
Scalable in a global manufacturing environment at high quality.
