AMCOR has unveiled a new closure targeting applications such as mayonnaise, ketchup, and sweet sauces.
The 55 mm Flava Flip Top Closure 38/400 is a lightweighted upgrade compared to previous versions.
The new generation of the 38/400 neck finish range is designed for circularity to help brand owners meet and exceed their sustainability goals. Amcor has achieved an absolute weight reduction of 1.9g bringing the new cap’s weight down to 8.5 g, an 18.7% relative reduction compared to the earlier generation of 55mm Flip Top Closure.
The monomaterial cap, available in a variety of orifice sizes and circular valves, is recyclable-ready with PET, HDPE and PP bottles, where the appropriate recycling infrastructure is in place.
The Flava closure is available in a variety of colors, while the closure can also be paired with a range of PET and HDPE bottles from Amcor’s portfolio.
Peter Briggs, UK sales director, food and beverage, at Amcor, said, “The new Flava Flip Top Closure will help customers reach their carbon reduction targets thanks to its lighter design,” said Peter Briggs, UK sales director, food and beverage, at Amcor. “However, while weight saving is critical in reducing the carbon impact of the closure, it does not compromise performance. Getting this balance right is crucial for consumers. They can be reassured that the product can be dispensed cleanly and easily.”
