Sig Combibloc Has Announced The Launch of Its Combibloc Ecoplus Carton Pack

Swiss supplier of carton packaging and filling machines SIG Combibloc has announced the launch of its combibloc EcoPlus carton pack with a new lightweight combiCap screw cap. The cap weighs just 1.9g and is applied on an over-coated hole.

The eco-friendly closure is applied to the carton pack after the product has been filled. As the cardboard layer has already been removed and only the thin polymer layers need to be opened, it can be opened by the consumer comfortably with a single twist.

According to the company, the closure consists of a flange with integrated cutting ring and a screw cap. The tamper evidence feature on the original seal is broken with an audible click, with a single twist of the screw cap.

The feature allows consumers to identify clearly whether a carton pack still has its original seal intact or has already been opened. The cap is screwed back on to re-close and the carton pack remains leakproof.

The carton generates 28% less CO2 when compared to a one liter carton pack of the same format and its paperboard ensures that the products filled in the pack are protected from light.

Consumer is assured that the wood fibers processed to make the paperboard come from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified forests or other controlled sources, due to the presence of FSC label on all combibloc EcoPlus carton packs.

With combibloc EcoPlus, a new, razor-thin polyamide layer serves as an extra barrier to guard the product from flavor loss and external odors.

The carton also consists of polyethylene layers inside and outside. The inner polyethylene layer forms a liquid barrier for the product, while the outer layer keeps moisture out.
