Amcor has introduced a new 55 mm Flava Flip Top Closure 38/400 for applications including mayonnaise, ketchup and sweet sauces.
The closure is a revised version within the 38/400 neck finish range and has been designed for circularity. It features an absolute weight reduction of 1.9 g, bringing the cap down to 8.5 g, an 18.7 per cent reduction compared to the previous 55 mm Flip Top Closure. The monomaterial cap is available in different orifice sizes and circular valves, and is described as recyclable-ready with PET, HDPE and PP bottles where appropriate recycling infrastructure exists.
The Flava closure is available in a range of colours and can be paired with PET and HDPE bottles from Amcor’s portfolio, including the Eurosqueeze range in HDPE, the 520 ml Mercury PET and the 400 ml Force Oval PET.
“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.”
Peter Briggs added, “This is a lightweight design that combines functionality, customer convenience and recycle-readiness, supporting the circular economy while providing improved usability for a wide range of applications.
“In addition, we are a trusted supplier ready to tailor each solution to the precise needs of our customers. Historically, we have a long and proud history of supplying this type of closure and we are excited to bring the next generation to market. Our Flava closure will benefit a wide range of brands requiring a more sustainable solution, and our collaborative approach enables on-time turnaround and fast delivery.”
