Raw material costs and retailer commitment to reduce the weight of packaging are driving the development of lighter closures as well as containers.
Trade show Interpack at the end of April will see a range of lightweight options from Bericap. The Galileo II closure is a two-piece flip-top closure suitable for edible oil and vinegar. Sitting on a narrower 26/21mm neck finish, it offers a 1.8g saving on the equivalent closure for a 29/21 finish.
Also available are the HexaLite range for waters, sports caps and variants on the SuperShorty closure for carbonated beverages and beer.
