Color by the Numbers
“Everyone follows a standard operating procedure,” Corelli said. “There’s a lot of recording and multiple procedures that have to be followed from the start to the finish and the last can comes off the line,” he continued. “When we establish the graphics and the color measurement for a given label, we set the standard at that plant. We must establish a firm standard before we can release the program to any other Crown manufacturing plant. From the initial run, with the customer present, we refine the color, print, and measurements to meet their requirements. Once the customer signs off, we run off many cans to make sure they match the approved measurements. At that point, we release the standard to all of the plants that may be running that can.”
