Plastic closures manufacturer Bericap, represented in Australia by TCL Hofmann, has released a new flip-top press-on solution for syrup.

Designed for the PCO 1881 neck, the closure will be used by Switzerland-based Aproz Source Minérale for its flip-top products.

Aproz had already converted its bottles for mineral water and carbonated soft drinks to the PCO 1881 neck finish, and using the same neck for its syrup was a logical next step towards concentrating on a single-neck finish that's widely available in the market and offered by several pre-form suppliers.

Bericap's HC EV 28/27 closure can be pressed onto the PCO 1881 neck without losing the closure's integrity and pouring capabilities.

The conversion to the PCO 1881 short neck and the related press-on closure has delivered some resin savings as well.

The HC EV 28/27 closure comes with a non-slit interbead band, which means the closure can't be removed from the bottles without being destroyed. A tear-off membrane assures the integrity of the product and both functions ensure high safety against tampering. A non-drip pouring lip prevents drips from the product after pouring.
