Swiss provider of closures solutions corvaglia will showcase a versatile portfolio for modern beverage technology. This includes developments for the GME 30.40 neck finish, proven tethered caps, and the new SabreCap for aseptic carton packaging.
Corvaglia has announced a comprehensive solution portfolio tailored to the GME 30.40 neck finish. This modular, adaptable product line highlights the company’s commitment to efficiency, design diversity, and compliance with environmental regulations.
“Years ago, we made a consistent move toward modern and innovative bottle neck finishes like the GME 30.40 and developed closures that align various customer needs with regulatory requirements,” says Michael Krueger, CEO of the corvaglia group.
Quick switch between tethered and non-tethered
At the heart of this innovation is corvaglia’s proven modular mould system. Developed according to the vision of company founder Romeo Corvaglia, the system uses clusters of four cavities, scalable up to 96 or 128 cavities. A standout feature is the quick switch between tethered and non-tethered closures via a simple slider change, enabling rapid adaptation to evolving market and regulatory demands.
The portfolio offers three tamper-evident band designs:
- Interference band (classic injection moulded, for simple and cost-effective production)
- Adaptive flex-band (injection moulded with flaps, for easy application on filling lines)
- Slitted & folded band (combines the previous two options).
Each variant is available in both tethered and non-tethered versions. All tethered models fully comply with EU Directive 2019/904, underscoring corvaglia’s forward-looking compliance strategy.
To meet diverse regional preferences, the closures are offered in three different outer designs, resulting in 18 customisable combinations.
In addition to GME 30.40, the modular system also supports other common neck finishes, including GME 32.04 (1881), GME 30.26 (29/25), and GME 30.25 (38mm Aseptic), further enhancing its relevance for global beverage operations.
SabreCap Launch – closures for aseptic carton packaging
In addition to the GME 30.40 portfolio, corvaglia will present SabreCap – the company’s first closure specifically developed for aseptic carton packaging. It is reported to feature a unique cutting surface that ensures clean perforation of the sealing foil. It has been designed to enable effortless pouring and to reduce residue.
From a production standpoint, the closure integrates seamlessly into existing filling lines without requiring technical modifications, says corvaglia.
Mass production of SabreCap began earlier this year at corvaglia’s U.S. site in Newnan, Georgia.
