Tethered cap solution for carton packs

SIG offers tethered cap solutions that remain firmly attached to the packaging after opening, such as the MaxxCap Linked closure. 

By July 2024 at the latest, closures on beverage packaging must be firmly linked to the packaging as part of the EU directive on single-use plastic packaging. SIG already offers customers corresponding tethered cap solutions such as the MaxxCap Linked closure. 

Terra Alegre is the first company in the world to apply the SIG MaxxCap Linked closure to carton packs from SIG. The fastener is designed in such a way that it can be used with the company's existing filling machines and closure applicators. 

"We are firmly committed to delivering the highest quality products to our customers, while also utilising the most practical and sustainable packaging solutions. By equipping SIG's carton packs with SIG MaxxCap Linked, we are the first in the world to use this closure and offer our customers even more sustainable packaging - well before the EU directive comes into force."

When opening, SIG MaxxCap Linked can be fixed in the desired position by pushing it towards the pack until it is in "park mode". The cap no longer needs to be held in place. To close the cap, simply lift it slightly before closing it in the usual way. Tethered caps offer convenience when closing, as the cap is always to hand and cannot get lost.

"We have worked closely with Terra Alegre to ensure that the company is well ahead of European regulations. By launching the new closure solution well ahead of the EU deadline, Terra Alegre is already enabling consumers to help minimise plastic waste in the environment and oceans."
