Global packaging company Amcor has unveiled its next-generation 55 mm Flava flip top closure, a high-performance solution, specifically designed for the condiments market.
The new 38/400 neck finish range is designed for circularity to help mayonnaise, ketchup, and sweet sauce brand owners meet and exceed their sustainability goals. Amcor has achieved an absolute weight reduction of 1.9 g bringing the new cap’s weight down to 8.5 g, an 18.7% relative reduction compared to the earlier generation of 55 mm flip top closures. 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.
Available in a variety of colours, the Flava closure 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,” says Peter Briggs, Sales Director (UK Food & Beverage) – Amcor Rigid Packaging Solutions International. “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.
“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. 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.”
