Amcor<\/a>, a global leader in developing and producing responsible packaging solutions, is supplying V\u00f6slauer Mineralwasser with a tethered version of V\u00f6slauer\u2019s customized closure for its iconic bottle<\/a> designs.<\/p>\n This latest development with one of Austria\u2019s leading mineral water brands underlines the strong partnership between Amcor and V\u00f6slauer and their shared commitment to developing packaging that combines functionality, inclusivity, sustainability and design excellence.<\/p>\n V\u00f6slauer\u2019s new tethered closure<\/a> opens to a wide angle and clicks into place to keep it away from the face and support a comfortable drinking experience for the consumer. For maximum convenience, the closure is also easy to replace on the top of the bottle for reclosing. Keeping the closure on the bottle \u2013 mandatory for single-use bottles up to 3 liters under the EU Single-Use Plastics Directive \u2013 significantly reduces the likelihood of littering and can support higher collection and recycling rates in countries with the appropriate recycling infrastructure in place.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWe appreciate that our customers have high standards, and our commitment to quality is as evident in our packaging as it is in our mineral and flavored waters,\u201d said Mag. Yvonne Haider-Lenz of V\u00f6slauer Mineralwasser. \u201cWe value our longstanding collaboration with Amcor and the company\u2019s ability to support our ongoing sustainability commitments.\u201d<\/p>\n As part of these commitments, V\u00f6slauer was also the first company in Austria to introduce Amcor\u2019s Secure Flip sports cap. This features a non-detachable tamper-evident band that is retained within the closure after opening as an alternative to a detachable tab, which is often discarded. The Secure Flip incorporates an ergonomically designed thumb tab that enables intuitive one-handed opening and opens to a stable angle of up to 180o to provide easy access to the spout.<\/p>\n \u201cClosures play a critical role in drinks packaging, protecting the products and ensuring safe and easy access, and in this way can help to influence brand perceptions,\u201d said Sarah de la Mare, product line director for closures at Amcor Rigids Packaging Solutions International. \u201cWe are delighted to work with V\u00f6slauer in the continuing development of innovative solutions that support both their product and sustainability<\/a> goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
