TRADE SHOW PREVIEW 64 PET planet insider Vol. 17 No. 09/16 www.petpla.net FachPack 2016: Innovations aimed at sustainability Bericap Hall 6 Stand 6-418 Bericap will be showcasing new packaging solutions, such as the e-smoCap for e-liquids, alongside advances in its tried-and-tested clo- sure solutions for canisters, metal packages, pesticides, lubricants, sauces & dressings, edible oil, food and beverages. Protection against product piracy Product piracy and the accom- panying product counterfeiting are a sensitive problem with serious consequences when it comes to chemicals, especially in the agricul- tural sector. In order to protect refills from being adulterated or tampered with, all closures have a folded and cut guarantee strip which is said to be extremely difficult to manipulate and shows clear evidence of tearing when the closure is opened. Other safety options are customer-specific closure designs, possibly complemented by an additional security label connecting the guarantee strip to the closure, or the use of laser technology enabling, for example, the company name to be lasered across the security strip and closure, including on uneven surfaces. Bericap has developed a special counterfeit protection system for one engine oil manufacturer. The bottler’s logo is affixed to the side of the closure across the security strip. As soon as the closure is opened, the security strip breaks and the logo is “destroyed”, making it obvious that the bottle has already been opened. Closure for e-cigarette refill sets Bericap has developed the e-smo- Cap a childproof closure that makes it easier for millions of people throughout Europe to refill their e-cigarettes. The closure has ISO 8317 CRC certification from the Laboratoire National d’Essais, which is supervised by the French gov- ernment. A sealing strip ensures that it is tamper-proof, thus providing protec- tion and security for end consumers. There is a long, narrow drip nozzle inside the closure for easy refills. Of course, it is also possible to conceive of other applications for this product in which precision dosing is of paramount importance. www.bericap.com P.E. Labellers S.p.A Hall 3 Stand 321 P.E.
