Things to see:
Tamper-evident, recycling-ready sports beverage closures by Aptar
Aptar Closures will showcase its latest generation of sports beverage closures at drinktec: NexTE, Rocket, and Balance.
Designed to align with Europe’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and Single-Use Plastics (SUP) directive, Aptar says that its Closures solutions help brands stay compliant while delivering the elevated performance today’s consumers expect.
With a streamlined design and integrated latching tamper evidence, NexTE Sport Closure seeks to provide a familiar and intuitive one-handed opening experience while enhancing consumer safety.
The closure features a visible, non-detachable tamper evidence band that flexes back for a comfortable lid opening motion. NexTE is suitable for both ambient and dry aseptic fill applications.
The three-piece Rocket Sport Closure features a wide, comfortable opening enabled by advanced hinge technology that reportedly eliminates spring-back and enhances drinkability.
Its visible, non-removable tamper-evident band clearly indicates if the product has been opened, with the aim of providing added security for consumers.
Aptar says that Rocket is also optimized for recyclability and supports both ambient and dry aseptic fill applications.
The closure enables the transition to a lighter neck finish (GME 30.40), apparently allowing brands to reduce bottle weight without compromising the drinking experience.
The new Balance Sport Closure is a lightweight, mono-material (polypropylene) solution that also supports the transition to a lighter neck finish.
Balance offers one-handed operation, a reassuring “click” upon closure, and an audible, tactile, and visible tamper-evidence system that aims to provide added assurance for both brands and consumers.
All of the above can be seen in Hall C6, Stand C6-342.
