Addressing limited options in established carton packaging systems
In many carton packaging environments, manufacturers have often had to rely on a very limited set of closure system options. The 27 H-PAK addresses this challenge by offering a reliable alternative that fits into existing production setups without requiring significant changes.
Rather than asking customers to adapt their processes, the focus has been on compatibility and ease of integration. The closure integrates into established filling lines, offering a plug n’ place approach that supports fast implementation while helping manufacturers maintain efficiency and gain more flexibility in how they develop and source their packaging solutions.

Combining stable performance with practical usability
In use, the 27 H-PAK introduces practical improvements in handling. Its opening system supports smooth operation, with an opening angle of up to 150 degrees and a stable hinge design that ensures consistent performance both on the production line and in everyday use.
The closure works with both standard and aluminium-free carton complexes, supporting the industry’s gradual transition towards more sustainable packaging formats. This makes it a forward-looking option for manufacturers balancing operational requirements with evolving expectations.

Exploring application-focused development at BETTER LAB
At Interpack, the 27 H-PAK will feature alongside the UNITED CAPS BETTER LAB, an interactive space where visitors can pre-book dedicated sessions with UNITED CAPS experts to explore packaging challenges and solution approaches in a practical, application-focused setting.
“In many carton packaging environments, manufacturers have had to work within a very limited set of closure options,” said Benoît Henckes, CEO of UNITED CAPS. “With 27 H-PAK, we are introducing a new level of flexibility that allows customers to move forward without having to rethink their entire production setup. That balance between continuity and progress is becoming increasingly important across the industry.”

Visitors can explore the solution at the UNITED CAPS booth and pre-book dedicated sessions via the BETTER LAB platform.
