Operational efficiency that strengthens your supply chain

Sustainable by design
- Made mainly from renewable materials, including responsibly sourced paperboard from Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®)-certified forests and other controlled sources.
- Recyclable, supporting both retailer and consumer expectations for sustainable packaging solutions.
Product protection that preserves quality
- The product inside undergoes ultra-high temperature (UHT) treatment. It is then filled into an aseptic carton, which protects the product inside from light and oxygen. This process enables an extended shelf life without additives or preservatives, helping to reduce food waste while preserving taste and quality.
Introducing the LightWing™ 30 Tethered Cap
The LightWing™ 30 is a new flip cap concept with a self-locking hinge, developed to provide convenience for at-home consumption. The closure snaps shut for later consumption. The neck of the closure is moulded in the filling machine directly onto the packaging material using the direct injection moulding concept (DIMC). It is moulded flat against the product side of the packaging material, creating a large flat pouring area of 30 mm that delivers excellent pouring. The lid is applied downstream. It is available in multiple colors allowing it to fit seamlessly into any packaging design.
