Closures are essential to container packaging to maintain their safety and integrity. They help in preserving the freshness of the product and control dispensing.

An optimally designed container closure system can enhance a product’s appearance while ensuring long-term repurchasing by consumers. An effective closure should:

  • Seal the container
  • Protect the product within the container
  • Be tamper-proof
  • Easy to install in the packaging line, and
  • Easy to use for consumers
