Stelvin launch has Inside track on oxygen barriers for wine bottle closures

4 February 2013


Each of the new liners offers winemakers a specific Oxygen Transfer Rate (OTR), giving them: "Far more tools to help craft and perfect their wine."

With its diverse base across packaging formats, Amcor was able to exploit its know-how as pioneer of the Stelvin aluminium screw cap and its expertise in flexible packaging to develop the new Stelvin Inside liners specifically for wine applications.

All of the films used in the liners are produced by Amcor and are PVDC-Free - the liners are manufactured exclusively by Amcor partner MGJ, a leading container seal specialist.

The OTR specified for each of the new liners ensures a low level of oxygen dispersions, allowing winemakers to achieve consistency in the condition of wines after bottling.

Nicolas Freynet, general manager Amcor Flexibles Capsules, says: "We believe this is a great time for winemakers and for Stelvin screw caps, a contemporary solution which has been around for more than 50 years.
"As more and more winemakers switch to Stelvin, we are delighted to be able to meet their clear need for increased liner OTR choice."

The four Stelvin Inside liners were presented for the first time on 30 Jan 2013 at the Unified Wine & Grape Symposium, Sacramento, California.

With 68 plants in 21 countries, Switzerland-headquartered Amcor Flexibles Europe & Americas is a market leader and the world's largest supplier of flexible packaging.

Amcor Flexibles Capsules specialises in the design and manufacture of overcaps and screw caps for wine, sparkling wine and spirits, with plants in France, Canada, USA and Chile.
