18 CAPS & CLOSURES PET planet Insider Vol. 18 No. 08/17 www.petpla.net TRADE SHOW preview CAPS & CLOSURES Sport closures and more Aptar will exhibit its well-known Original family of flip-top sport closures, available in different neck finishes and valve capable. Also, Contender 38mm bi-injected, part of the Origi- nal family, is a liner-less flip-top sport cap designed for the hot fill bottling process. The closure’s innovative bi-injected sealing system delivers good product protection but without the added foil liner. Also based on the Original sport closure platform, Uno, a one-piece sport cap suitable for cold and ambient filling is already available worldwide in 28mm PCO 1881 and will be soon available in 38mm neck finish with a two-start or a three-start version. Aptar Food+Beverage and GualapackGroup combined their expertise and consumer-trusted products into one pack- age solution, the No-Spill Pouch. It is claimed to offer the safety and convenience of Aptar’s SimpliSqueeze valve in the squeezable, eye-catching and fun-to-use Gualapack’s CheerPack spouted pouch. Aptar will also unveil more dispensing systems such as a closure for large PET beverage containers and the new sport cap generation with a visible and non-detachable tamper evident system. For instance, the new sport closure Avantage uses an intuitive press button tamper evidence system. Inside is the affordable value-added sport closure that differentiates itself in a competitive market. Guardian sport closure brings a safe consumer experience that will generate repeated purchases. All three of them are Simpli- Squeeze valve capable. www.aptar.com Tried-and-tested closures and new product features The closure ma- nufacturer Bericap will be introducing t ypes o f c l osu r e that are intended to surpass usual standards. Examples include closures that combine the desire for consumer con- venience – such as good grip, supporting easy opening of the bottle – with opti- mised material usage. This is particularly true for closures not only for still water, but also for beverages for aseptic and hot fill applications. Bericap will be presenting new closures for the carbonated beverage market as well. The company has also optimised its product portfolio in the area of sports caps and valves and will be present- ing new ideas and applications. The 2-piece sports closure Thumb’Up Crystal allows a 2-colour look with a transparent PP shell and a coloured HDPE pourer section. The sports closure is designed with a tear strip, offering tamper evidence functionality for the over-cap, but it will also be available with bridges only. The reactive Double Galileo hinge allows an opening angle of 180°, so that the over-cap no longer comes into contact with the cheeks. The hinge is compliant with BSDA safety standards. Thumb’Up Crystal is available for the PCO 1881 and the 29/25 neck. It is also feasible for the 26/22 neck. After two years of development and testing, Bericap Hun- gary has successfully introduced an extremely light 28mm PCO1881 flat closure in the market. The closure has been developed for the still water market and saves another 14% weight compared to its predecessor. In addition to still water, the closure can also be used for non-carbonated soft drinks. The closure has been validated for the N2 dosing allowing to pressurise light weight bottles for better bottle stability. Cus- tomers already using the Bericap CSD closure #7103 can use this new light weight still water closure on the same filling line without changing chucks. Industrial validation was completed successfully at the largest Hungarian mineral water bottler. www.bericap.com Hall A4 - Booth 210 Hall A4 - Booth 502 Light DoubleSeal SuperShorty 28/16 7115
