INDIANAPOLIS, May 11, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Ardagh Glass Packaging – North America (AGP – North America), a business of Ardagh Group,
collaborated with Newell Brands, the maker of Ball® home
canning jars, to design and manufacture the Ball®
Honeybee Keepsake Mason Jars.
The Ball® Honeybee Keepsake Mason Jars, available in
pint sizes, are perfect for canning, crafting and decorating.
Manufactured by AGP – North
America, the jars feature an embossed bee and honeycomb,
created to highlight the vital importance of pollinators in growing
the foods people love to preserve. The glass jars are available for
purchase in local and regional grocery stores and
Target® stores.
During the past 139 years, home canning jars have evolved to
meet new consumer needs while retaining the iconic Ball®
branding and premium quality. One component that remains unchanged
over the years is its legacy of choosing sustainable glass
jars.
"The Ball® Honeybee Keepsake Jars celebrate honeybees
and the pivotal role they play in the pollination process, which
has a profound impact on our canning community across the globe,"
said Julien McCluney, VP of Global
Brand Management, Kitchen, Newell
Brand. "We are thrilled to launch/announce this collector's
edition canning jar and can't wait to see how our consumers put
them to use."
Utilizing the Vision4GlassSM approach, the
Newell Brands team collaborated directly with AGP – North America's product design team on this
custom glass jar. Using a sculptured embossing process, Ardagh was
able to bring the visual appearance and tactile texture of the
Ball® Honeybee Keepsake Mason Jar to life.
"Ardagh Glass Packaging is passionate about innovation through
glass design and enjoys pushing the technological boundaries of
manufacturing new, custom textures for customers such as Newell
Brands," said Darrell Wineman, Vice
President, Food and Spirits for AGP – North America. "As the leading domestic glass
supplier to the U.S. food market, Ardagh continues to focus on
innovations in complex embossing, as well as new manufacturing
capabilities, to create distinctive glass packaging that creates
brand differentiation."
Consumers are more committed to environmental sustainability and
their health and prefer products and packaging that complement this
lifestyle. Glass bottles and jars are 100% recyclable and can be
recycled endlessly without any loss in purity or quality. Glass is
also the only widely-used packaging material rated GRAS (Generally
Recognized As Safe) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA).
For more than 125 years, Ardagh has been producing innovative
glass bottles and jars in the U.S. and offers a wide selection of
