Three Cans of the Year awards across Aerosol and Sustainability categories

For the seventh consecutive year, Trivium has been recognized by The Canmaker’s prestigious Cans of the Year Awards for our innovative packaging solutions and commitment to sustainability.

The Cans of the Year Awards are among the metal packaging industry’s longest-running and most respected award programs that recognize excellence in design, innovation, manufacturing quality, and sustainability across steel and aluminum packaging. This year, Trivium won three awards: a gold in the sustainability category and a silver and bronze in the aerosols category.

Trivium earned both the gold award in the sustainability category and the bronze award in the aerosol category for our work on the Adidas Clinical deodorant aerosol can developed in partnership with Coty. The aluminum aerosol packaging combines a modern, bold design with a premium finish that reflects Adidas' iconic brand identity while helping the product stand out on shelves. The packaging was revitalized and standardized, resulting in a 20% weight reduction while maintaining performance and quality. These advancements helped earn top honors in the sustainability category.

We also received the silver award in the aerosols category for our work on TRESemmé Gold Hair Care for Unilever. This project produced new, elevated artwork, resulting in a premium, salon-inspired packaging design featuring triple-split visual treatment. The design creates a cohesive appearance across packaging formats while delivering shelf presence through its elevated finish, stacked graphics, and sophisticated use of contrasting colors. The TRESemmé aerosol can demonstrate how high-quality decoration and innovative printing techniques can strengthen brand identity and create an elevated consumer experience.

For the Cans of the Year Awards, entries are evaluated across multiple criteria, including production quality, technological innovation, print and decoration quality, sustainability achievements, functionality, material efficiency, and overall excellence in packaging design. Additional information and full details of each winner can be found on the official Cans of the Year 2026 website.
