The British tin manufacturer William Say & Co produced high-quality fine flavoured cocoa tins in a special design and small series on an Acuity B1 inkjet machine from Fujifilm.<\/p>\n

Fortnum & Mason<\/strong> is one of the best known London's retail brands<\/strong> and its food department is legendary. The department stores' can look back on a proud history of over 300 years. For a Fine flavoured cocoa campaign<\/strong> in the main building on Piccadilly required Fortnum & Mason a small number of printed metal tins<\/strong> of the highest quality. With the production William Say & Co<\/strong> founded in 1920 and London's last remaining independent can manufacturer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In addition to a precise colour production<\/strong> was the highest quality finish<\/strong> but the biggest challenge for William Say & Co was the relatively small number of units<\/strong>.

William Say & Co then found the solution thanks to its long-standing connection with Fujifilm<\/strong>.

William Say & Co then produced the cans themselves - using environmentally friendly solar power - in its Factory in the London borough of Bermondsey<\/strong> only a few miles away from their final destination. The large, colourful tins<\/strong> were then set up at Fortnum & Mason in an impressive presentation.<\/p>\n

\u201eWe have been producing tins for Fortnum & Mason for over twenty years, including those for fine flavoured cocoa. In this project, we have combined tradition with innovation, because these 50 centimetre high cans<\/strong> were the first in Great Britain to be awarded the pioneering digital technology from Fujifilm<\/strong> produced. And the fact that this is possible in such a short time opens up all kinds of new creative potential for can manufacturers like us,\u201c explains Sales Director Stuart Wilkinson<\/strong> by William Say & Co.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
