We understand your business

Market growth and greater penetration of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles will lead to increased need for plastic closures in the beverages market. Consumer demand for ‘healthier’ still beverages and an improved experience from packaging will further boost the requirement for advanced solutions. The trend toward aseptic filling is driving the easy-to-clean, one-piece closure market. ‘Live’ products require strong, vented caps. Manufacturers also require ever faster filling speeds to strengthen efficiency.

UNITED CAPS invests heavily in research and development (R&D) to continually provide advanced caps and closures specifically for this industry. We are already working on increasing our ranges of 38mm closures and sports caps. New inventions will complement our already highly successful 29/25 PROSPRING sports cap and 29/25 PROGRIP flat cap. Our 28-1881 PROSPARK ‘one size fits all’ closure for the full range of beverages is setting a new standard in the market. We expect the lighter weight caps for carbonated drinks that are currently under development to do the same. We are also developing caps compatible with aseptic filling technologies to meet the needs of an emerging functional (aromatised) waters sector. A new advanced two-piece closure for liquid concentrates and a 38 bore-seal closure will also be available shortly to further expand our already extensive range of solutions for the beverages sector. Keep checking our website for news of additional developments.
