ULTIMATE END GAME: GILPIN’S TIM MCLAUGHLIN HEADS TO BEVNET LIVE JUNE 10 + 11 IN NYC

Never in Gilpin’s six-decades long history serving up easy-open ends to brands around the world has the canned beverage market been so dynamic. Pre-mixed cocktails—Dirty Shirley anyone?—protein shakes, macha teas and coffees, cannabis-infused sips, spritzers. You name it, and it’s going in an aluminum can. Nothing says “drink me” like an icy cold can. Pop the top and that’s all she wrote.

Which is why Tim McLaughlin is bringing Gilpin’s ultimate end game to BevNET Live in New York City June 10th and 11^th. Not only will Tim be touting our portfolio of brand-building beverage ends and industry leading services, he’ll be sharing strategies designed to support established brands, startups and co-packers.

The star product is, of course, our B64 SOT (stay-on tab) beverage end in 202 (52MM) and 200 (50mm) diameters. Gilpin’s B64 ends are the perfect pairing with 7-ounce mini cans along with 12-ounce standard and tall cans. Choose from performance options like BPA free or epoxy end liners and options such as custom-colored ends and tabs, incising and embossing. We also sell beverage ends in CDL and ISE formats in a range of diameters. We’re here to help you tell your story and deliver a customer winning experience

Tim has other compelling reasons to partner with Gilpin on beverage eds at BevNET Live. Here’s a preview:

• Flexible order volumes. Don’t need millions of B64 beverage ends right out of the gate? Gilpin offers flexible order volumes, which is a great solution for new brands, brand extensions and test markets. Order what you need and let’s go!

• Ready to ship inventory with 10-state legal compliance. Gilpin keeps 202 diameter B64 SOT Beverage ends with 10 state incising in stock and ready to ship in Austin, Texas. These incised  ends indicate the states where the can is part of a deposit, return or refund program and  is crucial for legal compliance in beverage packaging. Typically includes abbreviations for states with active container deposit laws, such as CA, CT, DE, HI, MA, ME, MI, NY, OR, and VT. Many imported beverage ends do not have this.

• Technical assistance. The Gilpin team has decades of experience in packaging design, manufacturing, filling, and seaming. You’re an expert on making and marketing beverages and brands. You may not be an expert on filling cans and seaming on ends. Thankfully, Gilpin is. We regularly provide technical support on request to customers, including co-packers to maximize these critical processes.
  
• Warehousing strategies. Gilpin has warehouses strategically located across the United States that help you navigate fluctuations in pricing, purchasing, consumer demand, and even tariffs.

• Supply security.  Thanks to a global network of manufacturers whom we have vetted and maintain long-standing relationships, your access to B64 beverage ends when you need them is assured.

• Quality assurance. Quality control is Gilpin’s top priority, so you’re assured the beverage ends you purchase deliver the performance you expect.
