TRADE SHOW PREVIEW PETplanet Insider Vol. 24 No. 11/23 www.petpla.net 27 Visitors can check them out in more detail as they explore “Beverage Hills” on the Bericap stand, starting in the tethered caps district before moving on to the dynamic sport caps precinct and the laid-back neighborhood where the aluminium closures for wines and spirits can be found. Each zone provides in-depth insights into a specific product category. Tried-and-tested Clip Aside tethered caps EU Directive 2019/904 stipulates that plastic caps must remain attached to beverage bottles with a capacity of up to 3 l after opening by July 2024 at the latest. Bericap is already prepared to meet that requirement and more than 5 billion beverage bottles have been filled and marketed with Clip Aside closures, which are in use on over 70 filling lines. The new closures are available for all relevant PET bottle neck finishes from 26 to 38mm in various beverage categories including carbonated soft drinks (CSD), water, juice and tea drinks, as well as milk products. They are joined by the new Clip Cap 23 for beverage cartons. A consumer survey conducted by Bericap has revealed that users appreciate Clip Aside’s 180-degree opening and intuitive handling. The new sport caps portfolio The “Mayence” and “Biarritz” sport caps, as well as the “Monet” closure, are designed for convenient on-thego beverage consumption. They can be operated with one hand, have a 180-degree opening angle and boast a distinctive tamper evidence feature. All Bericap sport closures are made of HDPE/PP materials to optimise recyclability. The one-piece Bericap “Biarritz” is suitable for dry and wet aseptic filling. The two-piece sport closure “Mayence” can have a bi-colour design and is suitable for wet aseptic filling. Bericap “Monet”, a two-piece dryand-wet-aseptic-fillable premium closure, features a high-visibility tamper evidence ring in a different colour between the body and cap – and the distinctive window on the closure clearly indicates if the closure has already been opened. Aluminium and safety closures for the wine and spirits market The “Mala” range of aluminium closures plays an important role complementing the Bericap portfolio at BrauBeviale. Bericap will present its new single-source supplier setup for wine and spirit manufacturers. It includes simple Roll On Pilfer Proof (ROPP) aluminium closures to highly complex safety closures. Bericap says it is also possible to respond more precisely to individual customer needs and preferences, offering a comprehensive range of decoration and design solutions. “Brau Beviale concludes this year’s ‘Welcome to Captown’ trade fair concept,” said Thomas Henkel, Sales Director – Beverage Closures at Bericap. “It’s definitely worth planning a long visit to “Beverage Hills” because there is so much good news on the trending subject of tethered closures.
