Comme pour les boîtes de conserve, les boîtes-boisson [...] souffrent de l'absence de refermabilité et surtout d'une banalisation de la forme. Pour y remédier, les fournisseurs ont développé des boîtes de forme depuis une dizaine d'années. Satisfait du résultat commercial, Heineken les a adoptées pour l'ensemble de sa production en canette. Réalisées par Crown, ces boîtes sont déformées par le soufflage d'air à haute pression. 4, record 1, French, - canette%20de%20forme
