With a clear focus on efficiency, design variety and regulatory compliance, corvaglia offers a fully modular portfolio for the GME 30.40 neck finish. Based on a proven, continuously evolving mold system, the extended development portfolio enables tailor-made closure solutions for a wide range of applications – from classic to tethered versions, fully compliant with the requirements of EU Directive 2019/904.

Customers benefit from a unique mix of flexibility, technological maturity and production reliability. With this, corvaglia is setting new standards in injection molding solutions for the beverage industry.

Technological background: corvaglia’s modular mould system

corvaglia’s modular mold system was developed in the early years of the company under the leadership of Romeo Corvaglia. The concept is based on clusters of four cavities each, which make it possible to configure molds with different numbers of clusters – such as 96 or 128 cavities – flexibly and efficiently.

A key feature is the ease of conversion between tethered and non-tethered solutions. The change is made by replacing a few components – specifically only the slides – which enables rapid adaptation to new requirements.

The mold system can be used for all commercially available, standardized neck finishes and thus offers maximum compatibility and future security.

The GME 30.40 portfolio at a glance

The corvaglia portfolio for GME 30.40 is divided into three main categories, distinguished by the design of the tamper-evidence band:

  1. Classic, injected tamper-evidence band (‘Interference Band’)
  2. Injected tamper-evidence band with flaps (‘Adaptive Flex-Band’)
  3. Slitted tamper-evidence band with flaps (‘Slitted & Folded Band’)

Both tethered and non-tethered variants are available for each of these categories. All tethered designs are compliant with EU Directive 2019/904 and are therefore future proof with regard to legal requirements.

In addition, there are three different outer shell designs to choose from to meet different ergonomic and aesthetic preferences depending on the market region and customer needs.

The free combination of these options results in 18 different design combinations that can be tailored exactly to individual market requirements.

Wide-ranging application beyond GME 30.40

The modular system is not only used for GME 30.40. corvaglia also offers comprehensive portfolios for other common neck finishes – including GME 32.04 (1881), GME 30.26 (29/25) and GME 30.25 (38mm Aseptic). The modular approach creates a high degree of investment security for bottlers and brand owner worldwide.
