Things, a product communication company, have collaborated to integrate smart packaging technol- ogy into CSI’s closures. A new packaging solution, Talkin’ Cap, uses embedded Near Field Communi- cation (NFC) tags, for application on the inside of closures. CSI says that this technology introduces a powerful platform to support a brand owner’s mobile marketing activities right from the package itself with just a simple tap. The company adds that brand trustworthiness

and product reliability are paramount for consumer loyalty. Talkin’ Caps ensure product safety and reduce brand owners’ liability by protect- ing against counterfeiting and ‘grey market’ activities throughout the distribution stream. CSI’s Talkin’ Caps allow for real-time consum- er interconnectivity at the point of consumption, giving brand owners the ability to have dynamic interaction and gather actionable insights based on consumer location and usage history. With 90% of consumers using their smartphone to help make purchase decisions in a brick and mortar setting, Talkin’ Caps are an app-less way to drive marketing content, brand and product information, gamification, loyalty programmes, awards and coupons to connected consumers. CSI has also expanded its one-piece closure


portfolio. The company says that the lightweight, high performance products provide a total closure solution for brand owners and enable the lowest total cost of operations for bottlers. For example, the HF-Lok V 33mm/38mm is optimally designed to be lightweight while maintaining performance excellence for hot-filled non-carbonated bever- ages. It offers advanced tamper evidence for additional security, and is compatible with 9001-

5533 (33mm) and 9001-4138D (38mm) bottle finishes. In addition, the Sport Flip Top 38mm is claimed to be an ideal closure for active, on-the-go consumers of hot-filled non-carbonated bever- ages, such as juices, sports drinks and functional waters. Features include: one-hand opening for on-the-go convenience, dual tamper evidence for maximised security, and is compatible with the 38mm 1845 bottle finish. New closure products from Bericap include the


DIN 60 TAP, a safe, convenient and time-saving capping system for the industrial sector, offering a one-step tap application that avoids the need for tools and is highly consumer convenient. It is no longer necessary to remove the closure to apply the tap. The protective membrane breaks without falling into the filled product when the tap is applied. Since the closure does not come into contact with any other items like a drill, the closure and the filled product remain absolutely clean and hygienic. The Bericap Ring Peel Liner is a new generation


of induction heat seal discs, used in conjunction with IHS screw caps. Ring Peel Liner provides accurate IHS-weld seals on PE container necks. The design overcomes the problem of opening conventional seals – both the PE layer and the aluminium foil remain on the bottle neck when the closure is opened. This Ring Peel Liner is easy to tear off by lifting up a PE ring. A residual portion of the PE layer remains on the bottle neck as a gasket when the closure is applied again and works as a reliable reseal feature after first opening – while providing


protection from leakage at the same time. Due to the easy tear-off, no additional tool such as a screwdriver,


key or knife is needed to remove the foil – and fingers keep clean. Both significantly improve user convenience.
