Aluminum screw-cap for PET spirits bottles
Amcor Rigid Plastics has expanded the
use of its roll-on pilfer-proof (ROPP) finish design for aluminum
screw-cap PET bottles to the spirits category with new 1.75L and 750ml stock
PET bottles that offer light weight and smooth conversion from glass.
By
The ROPP finish design, available in 30-mm by 60-mm finish (750ml) and
36-mm by 52-mm finish (1.75L), helps enable a smooth conversion from glass to
PET with minimal changes on the glass filling line. The ability to use the
same aluminum closure for glass on PET bottles is a major advantage,
offering brand owners a similar filling experience at reduced changeover
and cost. In addition, brand owners are able to mimic the premium look of
glass and achieve high-quality aesthetics.
The ROPP finish containers are designed to withstand the top load required
for aluminum cap applications. The PET bottles meet all required testing
to ensure a secure seal with the aluminum closure. The ROPP finish bottle design also eliminates the neck support ring to enhance aesthetics. Various decorating
options including custom printing and embossing are available for
the aluminum closure.
For the
1.75L stock bottle, a standard plastic pour restrictor typically used
for glass bottles is incorporated inside the bottle neck to prevent
spillage.
For spirits makers, the switch to PET also delivers key sustainability
benefits. PET containers are lightweight, unbreakable, and easy to
transport. Lightweight packaging allows more cases per pallet/truck for
fewer shipments, lower transportation costs, and reduced carbon emissions.
