Bottle cap interpretation of the packaging world

As we all know, the bottle cap is an integral part of the package, not only for bottle packaging, but also includes carton packs for sachets or drinks. Drintec, which is held every four years, is the leading exhibition in the global beverage and brewing technology industry. It is an industry event for the world to showcase outstanding achievements in beverage technology. It is the world's fair for the beverage and liquid food industry and is the industry's most important trade fair. At the Drinktec 2005 show, the PETpoint-themed show focused on many innovations in the field of caps.

PET beer bottle cap

In order to meet beer enthusiasts' requirements for high-quality beer, beer brewing companies must not only use PET bottles that have good barrier properties against bacteria, but also require vacuum disinfection of bottles and caps (O2S). Compared to glass bottles with crown-capped beer and PET bottles and vacuum-sterilized bottle caps, there is no material difference between the two. However, PET bottled beer tastes refreshed.

The BERICAP double-sealed O2S bottle cap has a very good seal and is one of the best cap choices for PET bottled beer. In order to check the safety performance of the cap, the bottle body was placed in the highest temperature environment during the simulated transportation process. The BERICAP double-sealed O2S bottle cap showed good sealing performance. Even if the beer was stored in a bad environment, the beer The aromatic compounds in the still have good sealing properties, so that their taste will not be greatly affected. Beers with such caps do not affect the quality of their taste even if they are left on the shelf for a long time.

The innovative nature of carbonated beverage caps

Consumers nowadays favor sporty beverages with screw caps that were previously used only for non-carbonated beverages. In general, sports caps, if light carbonated beverages, in the warm transport environment, CO2 in beverages will not be lost due to the increase of internal stress. However, if it is in a cold storage environment, the bottle body will be deformed due to the loss of internal pressure. Another problem is the aseptic cold filling, which is a problem that almost all companies will encounter. The disinfectant in individual parts of the bottle cap remains after it has been disinfected.

Idee+Form - Sporty "gas-tight" screw caps

The new bottle caps offer a whole new selection of opportunities for the beverage industry. At Drinktec 2005, Idee+Form exhibited for the first time a “gas-tight” screw cap designed specifically for sports carbonated beverages. Even in the aseptic cold filling process, there is no unnecessary pressure inside the bottle body. The cap rotates only one-third of a revolution, allowing consumers to drink smoothly. At present, the bottle cap has two sizes of 28mm and 38mm.

Menshen Company - "Cool Cap" New Cap

In addition, a new type of cap called “Cool Cap” developed by Menshen Company is also attracting attention in Drinktec 2005. The cap is suitable for carbonated or non-carbonated beverage bottles and can also be used on three-dimensional sachets or carton packs. Using the one-handed lever principle, the bottle cap is easy to open, and at the same time, because the bottle cap is designed to release the pressure on the side, it also improves the protection of the consumer. This kind of bottle cap can be used with ordinary filling production lines and it is also suitable for aseptic cold filling.

Bottle caps that minimize the risk of spilling beverages

Seaquist introduced three new cap products at Drinktec 2005. The bottle lid, named SimpliDrinkTM, not only has a consistent style design with its packaged mineral water, but also is controlled by a streamlined valve plug to minimize the risk of beverage spillage. No matter if it is 0.5 liters or 1 litre of mineral water, it can be opened or tightened with only one hand. At the same time, the double design of the cap ensures the purity and hygiene of the beverage.

Refastenable cap for three-dimensional pouches - smartSpout

In collaboration with Kapak, Seaquist has also developed a SmartSpout for refastenable caps for three-dimensional sachets. Its unique design is that it greatly simplifies the gripping action and opening action of the cap, and is therefore suitable for use on consumer products for children or the elderly. The use of one-handed caps ensures that even if accidental squeezing occurs on the packaging, no beverage will leak out.

New bottle cap specially designed for children's drinks (P'tits Monin)

Similarly, Seaquist also exhibited a new type of cap specially designed for children's drinks (P'tits Monin), shaped like a small animal's head. This rotating bottle cap has a cartoon style that attracts children's attention and is easy to use. Tear off the quality seal, when opening the bottle cap, a soft tongue made of plastic rubber will pop up in the red cartoon mouth of the bottle cap and act as a straw. For example, when the child grasps the tongue and puts it into the cup, the bottle is squeezed and the beverage can be smoothly discharged from the tongue, which is both hygienic and safe. When the cap is tightened, the tongue is pressed by the cap and the body, which is another way of sealing.
