Sleek changes

AriZona Beverages  announced the release of some of its most popular tea drinks in 11.5-ounce Sleek cans from Ball Corp.

These 207.5-diameter cans offer a unique way for the AriZona brand to continue standing out on the shelf and in consumers’ hands, it adds.

Youthful and iconic reintroduction
