The paperboard clip is made of renewable materials and serves as a sustainable alternative to traditional shrink wrap packaging.
GPI marketing and beverage new product development director Roxanne McSpadden said: “Graphic Packaging’s wide range of sustainable paperboard beverage solutions work well with multiple can, glass bottle and PET bottle configurations.
“Cap-It is our latest innovation for PET bottles that replaces traditional plastic multipack solutions such as rings and shrink films.
“With Cap-It, customers are guaranteed a fully recyclable package that helps the circular economy by providing fibres that can circulate multiple times through the recycling chain and become new packaging.”
