Orora’s long‑term partner Remedy Drinks joins forces with the McGrath Foundation for a purpose‑led limited‑edition can release – brought to life by Helio™ technology.
Long-term partner of Orora, Remedy Drinks, has teamed up with the McGrath Foundation in a meaningful partnership designed to raise awareness for cancer care across the country. Together, they’ve launched a limited-edition Remedy Sodaly Raspberry can, with $1 from every can supporting the McGrath Foundation’s purpose to ensure no Australian faces cancer without the care of a McGrath Cancer Care Nurse, who provide personalised support for people and their families who are experiencing cancer.
This initiative builds on the McGrath Foundation’s long-standing presence across Australia’s summer of cricket, which has become a powerful national platform for raising awareness and support for breast cancer care
Launched in time for the highly anticipated Australian cricket season, this partnership blends community impact with creative innovation – not only through fundraising across the cricket season but also through the can itself, produced using Helio by Orora™, a cutting-edge digital print decoration technology redefining what’s possible in beverage packaging.
Sodaly Raspberry: A Drink That Gives Back
Remedy x McGrath Foundation Sodaly Beverage Can Created Using Helio by Orora™
Remedy’s collaboration with the McGrath Foundation reflects a shared commitment to improving the lives of Australians experiencing cancer. The Foundation’s nurses provide specialised, compassionate support across the nation, and Remedy’s initiative helps expand that reach.
The limited-edition Sodaly Raspberry can – a guilt-free, prebiotic soft drink made with all-natural ingredients, no sugar, and only eight calories per 250ml – was crafted to “taste good and do good.”
As long-time admirers of the McGrath Foundation's purpose, we're grateful for the opportunity to support their incredible work supporting those experiencing cancer alongside our trusted packaging partners, Orora.” Remedy Drinks Managing Director Santino Luciano
This fun, nostalgic raspberry flavour – described as reminiscent of red lollies and classic old-school raspberry soft drinks – is crafted with Remedy’s signature dedication to quality. Made with gut-friendly Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) and sweetened 100% naturally, it delivers full-flavour enjoyment with zero sugar or artificial ingredients.
The beverage embodies Remedy’s goal of making better-for-you drinks that don’t compromise on taste – and in this limited edition, it also contributes to better outcomes for communities across Australia.
Bringing the Vision to Life: Helio by Orora™
To elevate the impact of the initiative, Remedy partnered with Orora Cans to produce the limited-edition cans using Helio, Orora’s first-to-market, high-speed, direct-to-shape digital print technology.
Featuring a Matt Varnish finish on Orora 250ml Slimline cans, the striking pink hue was created using Helio inks, giving the design a vibrant, shelf popping appeal.
Orora’s innovative Helio technology makes this limited edition Sodaly design even more eye-catching, showcasing that vibrant pink so whenever you crack a can you’ve got the amazing work of the McGrath Foundation in mind." Luciano says
Not only does it look good but it opens up opportunities for us as a business to capitalise on opportunities quickly, turning around limited edition runs while maintaining Orora’s signature high-quality finishes.”
As the first system of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere – and the world’s first integrated directly into a can manufacturing line – Helio delivers unmatched agility for short-run and limited-edition products. This makes it the perfect fit for Remedy’s limited-edition campaign, enabling fast turnaround, design flexibility, and premium visual execution.
A Creative Collaboration with Real-World Impact
The partnership between Remedy Drinks and the McGrath Foundation showcases the power of brand collaboration to create positive change. With Orora’s Helio advanced decoration technology elevating the product experience, consumers are invited to join a cause simply by choosing a drink they love.
Orora and Remedy have been long-term partners in creating iconic beverage packaging across glass and cans, including Remedy’s signature Kombucha and Sodaly ranges. This limited-edition release is yet another example of how their enduring partnership continues to bring meaningful, visually striking, and impactful packaging to life.
Innovation and collaboration have taken centre stage with the launch of long-term customer Coopers for their limited-edition Supercars can. This is the first saleable product to roll off Orora’s new Helio line, powered by the Velox IDS-NC500 digital direct-to-can printing system at our Dandenong South site.
Orora has officially launched Helio by Orora™, a revolutionary high-speed digital can printing solution that is set to transform the beverage packaging landscape across Oceania.
The 2025 GABS Design Awards, presented by Orora, honour the craft beer industry’s most creative packaging. This year’s champions, Capital Brewing Co. and Garage Project, from Australia and New Zealand turned their cans into storytelling masterpieces.
