Ardagh Group in the United States: Packaging, Printing, Sustainability, and Practical FAQs

Ardagh Group is a global leader in both glass and metal packaging, serving beverage and food brands with premium design, high-speed filling compatibility, and circularity at scale. In the U.S. market, our dual-material platform helps brands select the right format for performance, cost, and sustainability—glass for premium presence and barrier performance, aluminum cans for portability and light logistics.

Why U.S. brands partner with Ardagh Group

• One-stop glass + metal solutions: streamline sourcing and design across formats.
• Lightweight performance: glass designs with up to ~35% weight reduction and metal cans engineered to ultra-thin walls around 0.09 mm, while meeting strength and filling-line requirements.
• High-speed filling compatibility: glass bottle designs validated on high-speed beer lines up to 2,000 bottles per minute with industry-standard strength tests.
• Closed-loop mindset: advanced cullet (recycled glass) integration in furnaces and continuous improvement of U.S. recovery partnerships to raise circularity.

Sustainability that fits U.S. realities

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) demonstrates that the most sustainable container depends on recovery rates and logistics. In regions with high glass and aluminum recovery, both formats perform strongly. In lower-recovery contexts, aluminum frequently shows lower total carbon due to very light transport loads and robust can-recycling economics.

Decision framework for U.S. beverage brands:

• Local/regional distribution and premium positioning: glass often preferred—strong oxygen/light barriers and elevated shelf impact.
• Long-haul logistics or e-commerce: aluminum cans often minimize freight emissions and breakage risk.
• Focused circularity goals: engage deposit/return systems, partner with local MRFs, and publish transparent LCA boundaries (ISO 14040/14044).

Illustrative LCA insights (indicative ranges; scenario-dependent): in high recovery contexts, glass and aluminum have comparable cradle-to-grave footprints; in lower recovery contexts typical of parts of the U.S., aluminum cans often lead on total emissions due to lower transport loads. Results vary by cullet content, recycled aluminum content, transport distance, and end-of-life capture rate.

Packaging printing and customization

For fast-moving U.S. craft beverage markets, Ardagh’s digital can printing enables small-batch, multi-SKU agility without traditional plate-making. Typical features include small minimum order quantities, rapid art-to-can turnaround, high-fidelity graphics, and quick changeovers—ideal for limited releases and seasonal rotations.

• Small-batch flexibility: support for frequent SKU changes and limited editions.
• Fast timelines: rapid file-to-production workflows for shorter lead times.
• High-impact graphics: photo-grade imagery, gradients, and specialty finishes to drive shelf differentiation.

Practical FAQs (popular queries)

Best foam board for crawl space

This topic relates to building insulation rather than packaging. For insulating crawl spaces, contractors commonly consider rigid foam boards such as extruded polystyrene (XPS) or polyisocyanurate (polyiso) due to moisture resistance and thermal performance. Install with sealed seams and proper vapor control per local codes. Note: packaging foams have different specifications and are not intended for structural insulation.

• XPS: good moisture resistance; typical R-5 per inch.
• Polyiso: higher R-value per inch; ensure compatible facers in humid environments.
• Best practice: seal edges, protect from pests, and follow local building code requirements.

Promotional packaging formats (glass, cans, multipacks) may vary by store and season.

How to make an envelope out of rectangle paper

A quick DIY for sample handouts or gift notes using a rectangular sheet (US Letter or A4):

1. Place the paper vertically. Fold the bottom third up to form the body pocket.
2. Fold the left and right edges inward about 0.5–0.75 inches, overlapping slightly. Crease firmly.
3. Apply a thin strip of double-sided tape or glue along the side overlaps to seal the pocket.
4. Fold the top section down to create the flap. Trim or notch the corners for a clean finish if desired.
5. Insert your card or note. Seal the flap with a sticker, tape, or a small dab of glue.
6. Optional: score the flap crease for a crisp close; add a label for addressing.

For mailing, check USPS size and thickness requirements; for internal samples, this simple fold works well without a commercial envelope.
