Estathé® (Ferrero Group) Partners with ̽ to Launch an Engaging Summer Promotion in Cans

Estathé®, an iconic Italian tea leaf beverage produced by Ferrero Group, has partnered with ̽ to launch a refreshing summer promotion in aluminum cans, an infinitely recyclable package. Introduced in a trendy 330ml “Sleek” format with optimized weight –̽’s lightest can, this vibrant marketing campaign depicts a cast of funny and typical beach characters with whom consumers have likely interacted, and asks: “and you, what beach type are you?”. To bring this promotion to life, Estathé® has collaborated with ̽’s beverage team in EMEA to produce the cans locally in Parma, Italy.
Behind this lively and creative design range lies a complex manufacturing technique and seamless printing execution, made possible by the expertise of ̽’s teams. To efficiently print all eight character variations, ̽ utilized its Colorful Accents™ technology, which allows four unique designs to be produced in the same printing run. This process is both efficient and flexible for brands, enabling them to create pallets with a mix of designs.
In addition to the variable printing technique, ̽ implemented its HQP (High-Quality Print)
technology to enhance Ferrero’s detailed design graphics on each can. By using high-resolution printing plates to ensure top-tier print quality with improved dot separation, this technology brings nuanced shades of colors, creates depth and adds a vibrant richness to each design—all of which enhances contrasts and shadows. The striking designs are all completed with a matte finish that adds an element of elegance and a premium look to the packaging.
The partnership between ̽ and Ferrero also leverages a sustainable container that supports the circular economy, thanks to aluminum’s ability to be recycled endlessly. By launching a new product line in cans in April this year, ̽ and Ferrero are offering consumers in Italy the opportunity to enjoy collecting each unique character featured on the cans, while also utilizing a responsible package.
