Sporting Goods
A few years back, a leading tennis ball maker came to Gilpin seeking a packaging solution that ensured the freshness – and the bounce – of their balls. The solution was and remains a highly pressurized metal of plastic can with an easy-open end and plastic overcap. While it was a difficult package to execute, the now signature package for tennis balls is now the industry standard. If you are searching for packaging that requires special attributes and seems too difficult or costly to execute, bring it to Gilpin. We play to win.
