CAPPING / CLOSURES 41 PET planet Insider Vol. 17 No. 10/16 www.petpla.net F.l.t.r.: Michael Chen, Managing Director of Bericap China and Alexander Büchler, PET- planet Insider in front of the Editourmobil Patented cap increases shelf life for sensitive beverage ingredients The cap with the built-in lid CapAble AB was founded in 2008 and is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. The company is 90% owned by BioGaia AB and is specialised in functional packaging. It is the exclusive supplier of LifeTop closure products. The LifeTop cap is a patented bottle closure where sensitive powder ingredients are placed in a protective aluminium blister inside the cap. This protection increases shelf life consid- erably longer compared with ingredi- ents mixed into the drink. When the top is pushed, the blister breaks open and the powder is released into the beverage. This new solution makes it possible to develop shelf stable bever- ages with sensitive ingredients, such as probiotics. The packaging system han- dles room temperature storage and offers a longer shelf life for sensitive ingredients. Compatible with existing PET bottles and production lines, the LifeTop cap is designed to fit stand- ard bottlenecks. Customers can get production swiftly underway with minimum modifications to the produc- tion lines. The available finish for low and high profile is about 30 and 25mm. The blister capacity is around 300g of powder. The material of the blister has a full aluminium laminate barrier. The LDPE closure is available in seven dif- ferent colours. Mass Probiotics, Inc. is a partner of LifeTop. The company researches, develops, produces and markets a family of probiotic and prebiotic beverages and powder packet products under the brand name GoLive. Additionally, the com- pany is developing products for clini- cal and institutional use. All GoLive products contain a complex blend of human-commen- surate probiotic strains, coupled with a variety of prebiotic organic sugars and prebiotic soluble fibres, to provide superior support for the body’s diges- tive, metabolic and immune func- tions. All GoLive probiotics are kept freeze-dried in individually-packaged servings to ensure the probiotics are delivered alive when it counts: at time of consumption. www.lifetop.eu www.golivebewell.com www.biogaia.com UÊ, - , Ê‡Ê 9- -Ê" Ê*," --Ê " / " -ÊUÊ , Ê Ê/ Ê -- -/ ÊUÊÊ 1 /1, Ê Ê*, ‡ -- ÊUÊ -/ / " Ê Ê-/ ,/‡1*Ê UÊ / ,Ê- -Ê- ,6 Ê Ê*," 1 / " Ê-1**",/ YOUR PARTNER ",Ê/ " " 9Ê ,9Ê Ê / www.sorema.it ",Ê / , / " Ê- -\ʳΙ‡äΣ‡ÈÎ{™£ÓxäÊUÊÃ>iÃJÜÀi“>°ˆÌ VISIT US AT K 2016 | Booth 9D55 – 9D41
