EVENT PREVIEW PETplanet Insider Vol. 26 No. 07+08/25 www.petpla.net 38 User-friendliness meets environmental performance Caps for circularity How can sustainability and ease of use be effectively combined in closure systems? This is what the trade fair appearance of Bericap is all about. The manufacturer of plastic and aluminium closures is presenting its comprehensive portfolio in Munich. This year’s highlights include two new models in the sport caps product line. Aside from that, the exhibitor is showing a wide range of closure solutions for carton packaging in the dairy and juice segment as well as aluminium and plastic closures for wines and spirits. New sport caps Bericap launched its easy-touse sport caps range for on-the-go beverages. All sport caps can be reliably opened using just one hand. At drinktec, two new models will be presented: the one-piece Biarritz cap features a modern design and intuitive handling, while the two-piece premium Monet cap includes a tamper-evident ring in a contrasting colour positioned between the body and the overcap. A window on the closure also shows immediately if the bottle has already been opened. Both sport caps are suitable for dry and wet aseptic filling. All products in this line are made of HDPE, boast an opening angle of 180 degrees and are designed to offer an enjoyable drinking experience thanks to their high flow rate. Another key feature of the sports caps is their child safety: the British Soft Drink Association (BSDA) has issued certification that the models and their components cannot be swallowed by infants and children. The sport caps range has been industrialised across all relevant neck finishes – including the new GME 30.40, which is claimed to offer significant potential for material savings. The silicone-free BERICAPValve is available as an optional feature for several models. Tethered caps for the dairy segment Tethered caps have been mandatory in Europe since summer 2024 for disposable plastic beverage containers with a capacity of up to 3 L. Customers in the dairy segment, who are already considering the transition away from aluminium sealing films, can also find suitable solutions for their PET or carton packaging at Bericap’s booth. These include the snapon closures in the Falcon product line and the Clip-Aside screw cap, which are claimed to offer high user convenience in all neck finishes. Another option is the Clean Cap 23 standard version with drop band, which is distinguished by its easy handling. This closure is also available in the Clip Cap 23 tethered version. Both models are already established on the market. Aluminium closures for spirits and wines The extended product portfolio thanks to the Bericap Aluminium division also appeals to spirit and wine producers. The single-source supplier’s solutions are both tamper-proof and convenient. In total, the offering ranges from simple roll-on pilfer proof (ROPP) aluminium closures to highly complex safety closures. Both the aluminium and plastic closures can be custom-designed and printed according to individual requirements. The aluminium closure range for spirits and wines is supplemented by aluminium closures for mineral water bottles. Less material – more sustainability Bericap contributes to resource conservation by continuously reducing material usage in the product development process. This has resulted in lightweight solutions across all product categories. Visitors to the Bericap booth can get an overview of the whole “lightweight” range. The company additionally takes a mono-material design approach, ensuring that products can be recycled after use without additional sorting, to advance closed-loop material cycles. www.bericap.com Bericap Hall C6 – Booth 579 Biarritz 26/28 for PET 26/22 GME 30.40 Monet 26/29 for PET 26/22 GME 30.40 Monet 38/34 3T with visual TE ring ClipAside tethered cap
