TriMas Packaging has collaborated with several food and beverage brands using its expertise and innovative tethered cap designs.

TriMas is engaged in the development of new packaging solutions to address consumer’s challenges and enhance overall experiences.

TriMas Packaging said its Affaba & Ferrari division is actively collaborating with customers in the food and beverage end market in Europe to expand its portfolio of tethered caps, which are a sustainable improvement over conventional closure design.

A 38mm sports drink tethered cap created for Coca-Cola is the newest model in the company’s array of tethered caps. It is scheduled to launch and increase in production in mid-2024.

The tethered closure from Affaba & Ferrari is designed to stay attached to the bottle, eliminating unwanted environmental waste and making recycling easier while also giving customers a satisfying drinking experience.

The broad opening angle of the cap allows for comfortable on-the-go drinking and easy access to the beverage, the packaging firm said.

Furthermore, Affaba & Ferrari announced the launch of their lightweight tethered cap, which is intended especially for milk-based products, such as high-temperature pasteurised milk.

The business has also secured a new application win with Granarolo, an Italian dairy supplier.

According to TriMas, the 38mm tethered closure has a broad opening angle for easy access to the product and is lightweight due to its reduced polymer content.

TriMas president and CEO Thomas Amato said: “Innovative packaging design is key to growing TriMas by helping our customers meet their sustainability goals, addressing ever-evolving regulatory and market demands and delivering practical and functional solutions.

“As a leading manufacturer of closure and dispensing solutions within the food and beverage sector, our TriMas Packaging group recognises this responsibility and remains committed to leveraging our expertise and innovation to drive positive change and actively contribute to a more sustainable future.”
