The Uno 38mm cap has been designed to fulfill the requirements and performance of the flip-top design, as well as serve as an option for translucent or opaque colors.

Uno closure, which offers one-hand opening and eclosing, is available in two 38mm neck finishes such as three-lead and three-lead starts.

The company has provided larger and wide mouth neck finish for the new closure, enabling to use for aseptically processed and shelf stable beverages such as juices, drinkable dairy, ready-to-drink coffees and teas, preservative free drinks and water.

The new closure can be used for single serve packaging formats, and is better suitable for on-the-go beverage consumption.

Uno 38mm closure also offers benefits such as convenience, hygiene, resealablity and advanced hydration.

Aptar has designed Uno liner-less flip top and plug-seal sport closure for PET bottles, based on the success and market acceptance of the Original sport closure family.

The new closure is said to provide a visible tamper evident and comfortable drinking spout.

Uno 38mm closure can be used for H2O2 sterilization of juice and dairy beverages through using aseptic equipment supplied by Krones, Serac, KHS and GEA.

Uno also supports Claranor Puls’Full Cap sterilization with pulsed light, and is adapted for ESL>60 days and high acid aseptic lines after passing the testing requirements.
