The new Aqua-Lok mini 26mm TC (tall cap) closure launched by Closure Systems International has been designed to provide an ideal combination of bottler savings and enhanced consumer satisfaction.
According to the US-based closures specialist, the Aqua-Lok mini 26mm TC provides 57% more grip surface than other 26mm short-height profiles, providing ease of opening by consumers of all ages.
The new lightweight, one-piece closure – said to be ideal for bottled water, ready-to-drink teas and other still beverages – is fully compatible with the popular ultra short-height 1914 PET bottle finish.
“Market research experts agree that meeting the needs of aging consumers is essential for most packaging brand owners,” said Dawn Phillips, Closure Systems International global marketing manager.
“By increasing the height of the closure side wall, our designers greatly expanded the knurled gripping area of the closures, making them much easier to open, while still fitting the 1914 bottle finish,” she says.
Other important features of CSI’s new Aqua-Lok mini 26mm TC closure include an extended plug seal for advanced tamper evidence, providing band break prior to seal loss.
Aqua-Lok mini 26mm TC is made with HDPE material for optimum taste and odour performance.
Top printing and colour matching capabilities are available, providing enhanced brand marketability.
