Greiner Packaging is launching two packaging solutions, the Click On and Click In sealing lids, designed to meet the needs of environmentally conscious manufacturers and modern consumers. These products expand the existing portfolio with functional advancements that meet the highest standards of usability and sustainability.
Greater sustainability through fewer components
Sealing lids are based on a two-component principle: cup and lid. This allows for the deliberate omission of a third component, such as an aluminum foil. The advantage is that both parts can be made from the same material, such as PP, PET, or r-PET. This mono-material approach increases recyclability and reduces CO₂ emissions across the entire value chain.
In addition, sealing lids are reclosable, making them ideal for larger-volume products that aren’t consumed all at once. The lid protects the product from external influences and helps extend shelf life. Greiner Packaging’s sealing lids are compatible with standard sealing technologies such as thermal and ultrasonic sealing and offer a wide range of customization options.
Click On sealing lid: one lid to fit them all
The Click On sealing lid from Greiner Packaging offers a flexible, user-friendly solution designed to be used without any modification to the cup. Its straightforward application makes it a versatile option for a range of packaging requirements. It ensures a secure hold, even if the cup tips over or is turned upside down. Moreover, the lid comes in two distinctive tab styles, offering options.
Designed to be part of a sustainable mono-material system, the sealing lid, together with the cup, utilizes a single material to enhance recyclability. Compared to the conventional combination of snap-on lid and aluminum foil, this solution contributes to CO₂ reduction. As a result, the Click On combines reliable functionality with sustainable packaging design.
Click In sealing lid: one click, sealed quick
The Click In sealing lid from Greiner Packaging was developed for applications where secure closure and reliable product protection are paramount. After the initial opening, the lid can be pressed back onto the cup. It audibly and tangibly locks into the rim of the cup. This clear feedback not only ensures user-friendly handling but, a high level of leak protection, even during movement or transport. The locking function requires only a small modification to the cup rim—a simple measure to ensure a secure fit.
The Click In sealing lid is suitable for thermoformed and injection-molded cups and, thanks to its smart design, offers a reliable and practical everyday solution that integrates with the cup. This version also follows the mono-material principle - for easy reintegration into the recycling loop.
Reimagining a proven concept
Greiner Packaging’s Standard sealing lid has been successfully in use for over 25 years, efficiently produced, and still a popular classic today. It offers a reliable initial seal and is available in numerous sizes and shapes, from round to square, with various decoration options.
With the Click In and Click On variants, Greiner Packaging once again demonstrates that true innovation often begins where existing solutions are improved, optimized, and developed further to meet new demands.
