Closure Systems International (CSI), a US-based designer and manufacturer of closure applications and capping related equipment, has unveiled a new closure - Omni mini XP - for carbonated soft drinks and sparkling beverages.
Omni mini XP is an ultra lightweight, one-piece / linerless 28mm closure, compatible with the 1881 bottle finish. It is created with fully recyclable polyethylene resin.
This new closure is designed for use across the full range of beverage packages, ranging from 250ml to 3l non-returnable PET bottles and several closure knurl patterns (24, 24/120, 60, 120).
Features of the new closure include capping application performance, CO2 retention, impact resistance and raw material savings for brand owners producing sparkling beverages.
Omni mini XP will keep the package secure even when exposed to harsh distribution and retail display conditions, claims the company.
CSI global marketing director John Grainda said: "We've packed an incredible amount of innovation and advanced technology into this highly efficient design. Bottlers, brand owners, and consumers will no doubt appreciate the benefits of this closure."
