Ball designs new 8oz trim can compliant with USDA School Beverage Guidelines
Global supplier of packaging products, Ball Corporation, has unveiled its new 8oz trim can which meets the USDA School Beverage Guidelines that specify 8oz as the maximum serving size for drinks sold in schools.
The new unbreakable and quick-chilling can, which is 100% recyclable, is ideal for juices and other beverages for portion-conscious consumers, according to the company.
