US-based Crown Cork & Seal, one of the global leaders in beverage packaging and design, has launched a new closure for the beverage industry aimed at the sports and general activities markets.
The Nomad is a snap-on, flip-top trigger pump closure that, because it is easy to produce and fix on, enhances production time. The company also claims that it provides easy opening and integrates seamlessly with existing capping equipment.
The ringed-top Nomad cap is a lightweight, travel friendly closure that enables beverage manufacturers to target "on-the-go" consumers and increase sales to convenience stores and supermarkets.
An injection-moulded polyethylene base and polypropylene upper section form a strong top that can support the weight of a filled medium-sized PET bottle. The ring's orientation properties offer an in-line package and the closure itself features a locking tab at the base to prevent spills. The closure's design also enables brand displays aimed at increasing point-of-purchase sales.
