Closures/Lids

Across the packaging sector, cost inflation driven by energy markets and petrochemical feedstocks has translated directly into higher prices for plastic closures and other packaging products. 

Aptar Closures’ SureSnap valve and retaining ring have been chosen for Cheer Pack N.A.’s new SqueezeNSip™ spout for leak-free dispensing of on-the-go pouched beverages and low-viscosity food products.

This latest development with one of Austria’s leading mineral water brands underlines the strong partnership between Amcor and Vöslauer and their shared commitment to developing packaging that combines functionality, inclusivity, sustainability and design excellence.

Blue Ocean Closures (BOC), the Swedish pioneer in fiber-based packaging innovation, has announced a major milestone: its latest generation of fiber screw caps can match or outperform fossil plastic in material cost, while delivering significantly lower energy consumption during production.

For brands aiming to boost both sustainability and consumer appeal, today’s flexible packaging closure designs can assist in circularity objectives while continuing to deliver the convenience and functionality that help build brand loyalty.

Constantia Flexibles’ ComforLid replaces traditional plastic snap-on lids and straws with a patented lid featuring a peelable aluminum top and a coextruded plastic layer. The latest version features downgauged material made with Low-Carbon Aluminum.

Following a successful pilot launch, Great Earth of Scandinavia has decided to implement fiber-based closures developed by Blue Ocean Closures on all of their supplement products and is once again leading the way towards more sustainable packaging.

Choosing the right cap and spout is essential for making an impression and optimizing production. In a market focused on first impressions, safety, and sustainability, packaging is a crucial business decision, especially for rigid and flexible packaging.

The PET 1881 caps represent a technological breakthrough that can enable lighter packaging, improved shelf life, and mono-material containers that enhance recyclability and promote circularity. 

In its mission to create a fully regenerative food packaging system, SIG is steadily increasing the paper content of its aseptic cartons, to enhance renewability, and further reduce carbon footprints and the use of fossil-based materials.
