CSI 'investigation' unveils new closure

Closure Systems International (CSI) has launched a closure for carbonated soft drinks and water beverages.

Econo-Lok mini is a versatile ultra-lightweight 28mm linerless closure, weighing less than two grams.

The cap is made of organoleptic resin material that meets sensory protocols for sparkling beverages and waters and has a robust seal that meets CO2 performance requirements and has a patented secure tamper evidence system.

CSI said it combines the 1881 short-height finish material reduction savings with an ultra-lightweight one-piece closure design and can be used on PET package sizes ranging from 250ml to 3-litre bottles.

The ergonomic 120-knurl outside provides a smooth but firm grip that delivers ease of opening for consumers and brand interchangeability for bottlers.
