Aptar Closures, a dispensing solutions provider, has unveiled a new lightweight disc top closure for various beauty, personal and home care products.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dubbed 2-inch Disc Top Lite, the closure is the third disc top dispensing solution launched this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This launch follows the success of the company\u2019s traditional disc top closures, offering a lighter and low-profile design.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 2-inch Disc Top Lite weighs 10.2 grams, making it 23% lighter than standard 2-inch disc tops.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

This reduction in weight leads to a significant decrease in plastic usage, aligning with the sustainability goals of many brands without compromising on performance.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The closure is made from polypropylene (PP) and is available with post-consumer recycled (PCR) content. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Designed with a crab claw seal, the 2-inch Disc Top Lite features a 24mm custom thread neck finish and a 3mm x 8.5mm orifice.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is suitable for medium-to-thick viscosity products, ensuring compatibility with a diverse range of applications.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The sleek design of the closure offers a premium look, available in various frost and gloss finishes, and can be customised with brand logos or messages to increase shelf appeal, according to the company.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Aptar Closures North America product line director Erin Harmon said: \u201cAt Aptar Closures, we are constantly seeking ways to innovate while minimising our environmental footprint. The 2\u201d Disc Top Lite is a prime example of how we can deliver on both sustainability and functionality, providing our customers with a premium solution that supports their sustainability initiatives without sacrificing quality.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

In May 2024, Aptar Closures developed the E-Disc Top closure<\/a>, a new disc top dispensing solution for e-commerce applications.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
