Closures innovation
Guala Closures Group showcased its range of closure solutions for water and non-alcoholic beverages in glass bottles, including premium models and sustainable options.
Previously Closurelogic, the company is now Guala Closures Deutschland after its acquisition in early 2020, and produced more than 4.5 billion closures in 2021.
A flagship model on show at drinktec was the Talog closure, already widely adopted by the main international water brands. It consists of an aluminium cap with a plastic tamper evident band which breaks on first opening. Alu-Star, meanwhile, has similar credentials as well as an aluminium tamper evident ring that breaks into several sections at the first opening, whilst remaining attached to the cap.
The range also includes Star-Log for aluminium bottles, the use of which is growing considerably among ready-to-drink and soft drinks products. New closures on show included Spring Blossom, a closure for water and beverages with tamper evident made with sustainable biobased plastic; and NeSTGATE connected closures which include a QR code.
