Caps & closures | packaging
savings and an improved carbon footprint were a priority, while consumer convenience was not always taken into account. Bericap initially developed lightweight closures in response to market demand. Developing new closures for a new light 29/25 or 26/22 PET neck resulted in weight savings for closure and neck of 33% compared to their predecessors. However, the new closures were low in grip height – only 11 and 10.5mm – making it awkward for the consumer to open the closures. Consequently, the company developed closures for the 26mm and 29mm PET neck that are higher and allow more convenient opening due to a good grip height. In addition, the lightweight necks were maintained and the added weight to achieve a higher closure was insignificant. Bericap has also developed a new two-piece sports
closure – Thumb’Up Crystal – allowing a two-colour look with a transparent polypropylene shell and a coloured HDPE pourer section. The new sports closure is designed with a tear strip, offering tamper evidence functionality for the over-cap, but it will also be available in bridge-only form – the consumer breaks
the bridges by moving the over-cap upward with the thumb. The reactive Double Galileo hinge allows an opening angle of 180˚, so that the over-cap no longer comes into contact with the cheeks. The hinge is compliant with BSDA safety standards.
