I would think that glass bottles would be more sustainable.

The above idea is too Good and i liked it. It really saves lots of time, money and energy.

If Coke or others adopt this it be a better contribution to the Environment.

How can these guys be so uncreative?

Printing a bar code and a few logos to show which one is regular, zero, diet or light will really use less paint than painting the whole can. Also, The amount of energy to stamp the can would be the same or less then the amount used to actually paint.

You complain too much. And, anyway, I bet Coke wont adopt it.

And what about bar-code? How can be barcode recognized if being embossed instead of being printed?

+1 to Coke Drinker & Steve. Infeasible and counterproductive.

The can looks wonderful, but I agree with Coke Drinker and Steve… the aluminium molding seems not to be that much sustainable, compared with a label. And you have to set up a mold for every kind of product… Unfeasible, at all!

Can the fine print and labelling be embossed, too? Can a barcode be embossed? It’s a sexy look, but it isn’t applicable to reality. Maybe for the movies?

Does it really save energy? How much does it cost to stamp the cans? How much enegy is concumed by those huge stampers? Does the stamping weaken the can? Will a heavier guage of aluminum be required? How many cans can be stamped from one die?

On a brand recognition note, if all brands had the same color, it would be too difficult to distinguish between Coke Classic and Coke Zero. You gotta have color.

Why can’t Coke use waterbased colorants?

Even if Coke did apodt this design it would be a drop in the ocean in countering their horrific environmental and human rights record.
