BERICAP is demonstrating how sustainability and ease of use can be effectively combined in closure systems at this year’s Drinktec in Munich. This year’s highlights include two products with an impressive post-launch success story, the new Monet and Biarritz sport caps.

There is also an extended range of closure solutions for carton packaging in the dairy and juice segment, as well as a wide range of aluminum and plastic closures for wines and spirits that sets new standards in product protection, point of sale branding and much more.

Sport caps: industrialized for all relevant neck finishes

BERICAP presents its industrialized sport caps range for on-the-go beverages, available for all relevant neck finishes. Ideal for staying hydrated at the gym, on a hike, or during a commute, these sport caps are engineered for one-handed operation, featuring a 180-degree opening angle and delivering a superior drinking experience with a high flow rate. The one-piece Biarritz cap impresses with its modern design and intuitive handling, while the two-piece premium Monet cap features a contrasting color tamper evidence ring between the body and overcap. A window on the closure also shows at a glance if the bottle has already been opened. Both Biarritz and Monet are suitable for dry and wet aseptic filling and are made from mono-material HDPE to support enhanced recyclability.

The entire sport caps range meets the British Soft Drinks Association (BSDA) child safety standards, ensuring that no components can be swallowed by infants or children. It has been fully industrialized across all relevant neck finishes – including the new GME 30.40, which offers significant potential for material savings.

Sustainable solutions for the dairy segment

Tethered caps have been mandatory in Europe since summer 2024 for disposable plastic beverage containers with a capacity of up to three liters. Customers in the dairy segment, some of whom are already considering dispensing with aluminium sealing films, can also find suitable solutions for their carton packaging at BERICAP. These include the snap-on closures in the Falcon product line and the ClipAside screw cap, which offers excellent user convenience in all neck finishes. Another option is the Clean Cap 23 standard version with drop band, which is distinguished by its easy handling. This closure is also available in the Clip Cap 23 tethered version. Both models are already firmly established on the market.

Spirits and wines: safety meets branding power

BERICAP’s presentation at Drinktec of an extended product portfolio thanks to the BERICAP Aluminium division also appeals to spirit and wine producers. The single-source supplier’s solutions are both tamper-proof and convenient – from simple roll-on pilfer proof (ROPP) aluminum closures to highly complex safety closures. Both the aluminium and plastic closures can be custom-designed and printed according to individual requirements, which means they not only contribute to product safety, but are also a powerful branding tool at the point of sale. The BERICAP aluminium closure range for spirits and wines is supplemented by aluminium closures for mineral water bottles.

Less material – more sustainability

BERICAP contributes to resource conservation by continuously reducing material usage in the product development process. This has resulted in lightweight solutions across all product categories. Visitors to the BERICAP stand can get an overview of all the whole “lightweight” range. The company additionally takes a mono-material design approach, ensuring that products can be recycled after use without additional sorting, to advance closed-loop material cycles.

“Grow with the Flow" is the motto of this year’s Drinktec. It is a very good reflection of BERICAP’s core values and our mission to lead innovation in the beverage segment by delivering customer-specific solutions aligned with current and future trends. We’re proud to be a reliable partner in our customers’ success – and excited to showcase our portfolio at Drinktec,” said Albrecht von Leonhardi, Sales Director Beverage Closures at BERICAP. Drinktec in Munich is a global meeting place every four years for experts in the beverage and liquid food industry. This year more than 1,000 exhibitors and some 50,000 visitors are expected.
