We are the first in the world to launch the combiSwift closure with tethered cap from SIG and are already offering consumers a practical solution for drinking and pouring that they can dispose of and recycle together with the emptied carton pack. We are using one side of the pack to clearly explain the handling and environmental benefits of the new tethered cap.“

The combiSwift TC lock can be fixed in the desired parking position by pressing it down. This allows Consumers can drink or pour from the pack without the cap being in the way and without having to hold it in place.
