The 2-pcs screw closure is suitable for PET and PE bottles with 28mm neck finish. A slit band, which brakes reliable with first opening, provides superior tamper evidence. The closure is featured with a child resistant system protecting small children from use. Tight seal is achieved with an EPE liner.
The 2-pcs Thumb'Up sports closure fits onto a 30/25 PET neck finish. The PE made pourer is equipped with a bore seal and a molded tamper evidence band is assuring the integrity of the product. The PP made overcap is secured with a tear-off tamper band and has a 180° hinge to keep the overcap away for the cheek during drinking. The hinge withstands more than 80 Nm before it breaks.
The 3-pcs push-on closure with a co-injected liner is used for water cooler containers (3, 5 and 6 gallons) made out of PC or PET is compatible to the most of the bottle necks. The sealing compound assures tight sealing of the container. A plug inside the closure contributes to non-spilling, when the container is put on the cooler device. A label, glued on the top of the VALVE LOCK closure protects against dirt in the aperture and serve as tamper evidence as the same time.
BERICAP has developed the e-smoCap™, a childproof closure that makes it easier for millions of people throughout Europe to refill their e-cigarettes.
The closure has ISO 8317 CRC certification from the Laboratoire National d'Essais, which is supervised by the French government. A sealing strip ensures that it is tamper-proof, thus providing protection and security for end consumers. There is a long, narrow drip nozzle inside the closure for easy refills.
In order to protect refills from being adulterated or tampered, all closures have a folded and slit tamper evidence band (TE) which is extremely difficult to manipulate and provides visual evidence in the form of broken bridges if the closure has been opened.
Other safety options are customer-specific closure designs, possibly complemented by an additional security label fixed across the closure body and TE band, or the use of laser technology enabling, for example, the company name to be lasered across the TE band and closure, even on uneven surfaces.
BERICAP has developed a special counterfeit protection system using a Laser Print where e.g. a logo can be printed on the side of the closure including the closure body and the TE band. Printing on uneven surfaces is no problem. As soon as the closure is opened, the security strip breaks and the logo is "destroyed", making it obvious that the bottle has already been opened.
Developing new closures for a new light 29/25 or 26/22 PET neck resulted in weight savings for closure and neck of 33% compared to their predecessors.
However, the new closures were low in (grip)height – only 11 and 10.5mm – making it awkward for the consumer to open the closures.
The new caps are virtually of the same weight but look more substantial and are now easier for customers to handle.
All HexaLite® closures have a slit and folded TE band with bridges that breaks easily the first time the bottle is opened. N2 dosing is feasible.
The 29/25 and 26/22 neck types are approved by CETIE.
ThumbUp Crystal is available for the PCO 1881 and the 29/25 neck.
After 2 years of development and testing, Bericap Hungary 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. Besides for still water, the closure can also be used for non-carbonated soft drinks. The closure has been validated with 1.2 bar relative overpressure in the headspace generated by N2 dosing.
Customers, already using the BERICAP CSD closure #7103 can use this new light weight still water closure on the same filling line without changing chucks.
A recent trend for packaging in edible oil, soya sauce and vinegar is to offer dual flow for consumer packs, predominantly one-liter bottles. Dual flow means the consumer can choose between a large and a small flow. In the case of edible oil, the large flow is used for pouring into a frying pan and the small flow for preparing a salad.
