The fast-growing still water market is one of the markets looking for low-weight options. Beri- cap has extended its HexaLite range in response to market requirements with HexaLite UL 29/11 SFB, fitting a 29/25 mm neck size. The weight saving compared with a former 30/25 neck and closure combination is as much as 37%. Beside other Bericap locations, this closure is now being produced for water at Bericap Egypt and has since been introduced successfully onto the Egyptian market. A multina- tional player in the water market has opted for the closure, using it for different bottle sizes. The market introduction of the new ultralight closure, the lightest closure in the Egyp- tian market, started in January 2015 and gave new stimu- lus to the market. The HexaLite Ultra Lite UL 29/11 SFB is equipped with a slit flexband, supporting easy application and reliable tamper evidence functionality. Nitrogen dosing is feasible where bottlers want to use lightweight bottles and need to add nitrogen to stabilize the bottle. www.bericap.com ON site See the dev iat ions?
