Flip-top, tight-close caps stop drips and overflows

Cains Foods, L.P., Ayer, MA, specializes in the production and packaging of a broad line of salad dressings, sauces, and sandwich spreads for both retail and foodservice markets. When the company decided to revamp packaging (going from a 3”-wide bottle to a 4.25”-wide bottle) for its Naturally Delicious line of salad dressings, the change required a new capping choice.

Cains’ vp of sales and marketing, Chris Katopis, notes, “The previous packaging was using a 38-mm pour cap that had a fitment inside it. But we wanted to go with a portion-controlled, squeeze-dispensing, flip-top cap. We looked at different flip-tops, and our marketing and sales people liked the system from Weatherchem Corp.. They liked the lower, smoother profile and the more contemporary look. Other closures we evaluated were square and chunky-looking. In addition, Weatherchem offered integrated caps and safety liners with a tear-drop orifice, which we liked more than our previous round opening. They also offered us a broad range of shiny cap color options. And the company was there to meet our needs without undue delays—very reliable.”
