UNITED CAPS, an international manufacturer of caps and closures, is launching unique, highly effective and sustainable tethered closure for carton packaging, 23 H-PAK.

This closure, which has patents pending, includes an innovative tamper-evident (TE) band that keeps all parts intact for easier recycling. UNITED CAPS will be showing the 23 H-PAK publicly at interpack 2023.

UNITED CAPS introduces innovative tethered closure for carton packaging.

“In addition to its ability to keep all parts intact for recycling, its super-strong hinge ensures the box-fresh experience consumers are looking for,” said Benoit Henckes, CEO at UNITED CAPS. “It not only enhances the user experience but also helps to protect the environment, a critical R&D driver for UNITED CAPS.”

The 23 H-PAK tethered closure is designed to make an instant connection with established filling lines, ensuring seamless integration with existing processes and fast production-line implementation.

23 H-PAK features audible click when opening.

With its high engineering and attention to detail, 23 H-PAK comes with a clever first-time-use feature to create an optimal access point, enhancing the user experience. The cutting edge is specially designed to cut through the pre-laminated hole with minimal effort, providing a clean and smooth opening.

“One of the stand-out features of this new tethered closure is its audible click when opening, a satisfying sound that lets consumers know their closure is in an open position – once opened, it is in the optimal position for use and the cap stays in position for the perfect pour,” Henckes added.

This innovative closure consists of three pieces – the spout, closure and cutter, while other solutions in the market typically consist of four pieces. Fewer pieces mean easier recycling. In addition to leading-edge tethering features, it is a cost-effective solution for cartons.
