Amcor launches lightweight Moderna Flip Top TE closure

Amcor, a global packaging manufacturer, has launched the Moderna Flip Top tamper-evident (TE) closure. The closure is intended for vinegar, sauces and dressings and is designed to meet consumer expectations for both convenience and improved sustainability.

The Moderna features a recycle-ready mono-material one-piece construction, which can be recycled where appropriate collection facilities exist. In addition, its lightweight design reduces material usage, which helps companies comply with plastic packaging regulations.

For consumers, the Moderna provides controlled pouring or dispensing of products. The closure is designed for a 29/21 neck finish and is available in a variety of orifice sizes: 2 mm, 6 mm and multi-orifice.

Tamper-evident system and design

The TE system enhances product safety and integrity, with a visible seal that confirms the product has not been previously opened. This feature is integrated within the flip-top lid, allowing easy one-handed actuation. After opening, the TE tab remains captured within the closure body, which reduces the risk that it is lost in the waste stream or spilt into the environment. With a snap-on application, the Moderna ensures a secure seal and simple integration with PET bottles.

The bore seal protects product freshness. The closure is available in a range of standard colours, enabling brands to customise the design to meet their specific branding requirements.

Matthias Hammersen, vice-president sales, Amcor Global Rigids Packaging Solutions, commented: "With the Moderna Flip Top TE closure, we've created a lightweight design that combines functionality, customer convenience and recycle-readiness, supporting the circular economy while providing improved usability for a wide range of applications."
