A broad closure portfolio
Bericap – Hall 4 | Booth 219
Bericap will be showcasing closure solutions for present and future requirements. Whether plastic or aluminium, the company’s closures for alcoholic beverages, mineral water, soft drinks, or energy drinks are claimed to be convenient and safe to use, environmentally friendly, and individually tailored to the needs of the beverage industry. Visitors can discover how manufacturers can easily switch over to the tethered caps that are already mandatory for many beverages to overcome new challenges. They can also learn about the different types of sport caps and the sustainable options that are already possible today.
Clip Aside tethered caps
The Clip Aside tethering system on the closure’s drop band was developed early on by Bericap to simplify the process of switching filling lines over to the new tethered closures. Today, more than 15 billion bottles on over 70 filling lines have been fitted with the Clip Aside caps. The sustainable and user-friendly closures with an up to 180-degree opening angle are available for neck finishes ranging from 26 to 38 mm in beverage categories such as carbonated soft drinks (CSDs), water, juice and tea drinks, and dairy products. Customers aiming for a quick and flexible switch over to resealable tethered caps that represent an alternative to aluminium seal foils (“alu seal-free”) in the milk and dairy segment will also find solutions.
Sport caps for a mobile future
The company’s sport caps are also available in a tethered version. Sustainability and comfort are key attributes of the products in this portfolio, and the Bericap sport caps are produced in an eco-friendly way. For example, the one-piece sport cap “Biarritz” and the two-piece premium closure “Monet” are manufactured in a mono-material design for optimum recyclability. Users also appreciate the sport caps’ convenience. They can be opened using just one hand and the dust cap folds back up to 180 degrees for ease of drinking, even when exercising or on the go. The sport caps have an additional tamper-evidence feature for optimum product protection.
Eco-friendly production
Bericap says that it is a pioneer in the development of sustainable closure systems and committed to the reduction of material use. The specially developed lightweight range for cooking oils is produced in a mono-material design across different closure categories, avoiding the need for additional sorting in the recycling process. The company has introduced energy-efficient manufacturing processes at its 30 plants in more than 25 countries, established global sustainability standards, and is involved in various sustainability initiatives.
Aluminium closures
The team at Bericap Aluminium, formerly Mala Verschluss-Systeme GmbH, offers a diverse portfolio of roll-on closures for wines and spirits, milk-based drinks and edible oils. The range extends from simple roll-on pilfer proof (ROPP) aluminium closures to highly complex safety closures. All aluminium closures are available with different types of seals, and both they and the Bericap plastic closures can be custom designed.
