Tethered caps find legally compliant solutions in time

This directive concerns all manufacturers of PET bottles with volumes of up to three liters. These manufactures have to adapt their production so that the closures remain attached to the bottles even when open. This inevitably leads to technical adjustments in the filling system which we can already discuss with you today so that you are well prepared for the timely change.

We know from discussions with our customers that they are orienting themselves towards a future-proof standard with regard to the upcoming EU specification and want to implement it as efficiently as possible be it through simple conversion or lasting resource savings by using fewer materials in the production line. We will make added values possible for you to enable you to profit sustainably and in time from the legal requirements for the changeover in the market.

Testing closure options, evaluating added value

Depending on the type of closure, you can test versions of the tethered cap on your existing system in advance with just a few adjustments. You can thus put this time to good use to choose the type of closure that suits you best. During this phase, we will be happy to advise you on how you can permanently save resources and thus cut costs by reducing the weight of closures and threads. For this, we consider the entire production process, because as experts in turnkey filling and packaging systems we always focus on the complete line. From the container design to secondary packaging (or tertiary packaging), we look at the options for resource savings and at the same time increase the efficiency of your system.
