Silgan likes Rojek's end technology

Metalgrafica Rojek of Brazil has licensed Silgan Containers (Woodland Hills, CA) to produce and market in North America Rojek’s unique easy-open convenience end for metal cans or glass jars used for food, beverage or non-food applications.

The end was featured in the November ’99 issue of Packaging World (see PW, Nov. ’99 or packworld. com/go/rojek). Silgan calls the end Dot-Top®.

The easy-to-open vacuum lid requires no tools for opening. A small perforation in the center of the lid is sealed with a plastisol compound. Once the compound is peeled away, the vacuum inside the container is released and the end can be removed effortlessly.
