reclosable aluminum can ends for aluminum cans

Discover the advantages of reclosable closures and why they have become the preferred choice for consumers

In recent times, reclosable closures have become a sought-after option in the packaging world. This is due to the advantages they offer in terms of convenience, which has made them very popular among consumers.

These closures allow the container to be resealed after opening, extending the shelf life of the product and reducing food waste.

There is a varied offer in the market and in Mundolatas we tell you about the most outstanding ones, some are prototypes and others are already marketable.

Xolution is a German-based company that specializes in the creation of reclosable closure systems. Its mission is to bridge the gap between traditional beverage cans and the demands of the “on-the-go generation” by offering beverage products that suit increasingly itinerant lifestyles. Its revolutionary XO reclosable can system makes your beverage available at any time, always fresh and safe.the XO system allows cans to be opened and closed several times, something that is not possible with conventional cans. The difference lies in the fact that XO cans have special lids with an integrated plastic opening mechanism that allows easy opening and closing. The procedure for using these cans is very simple: first pull a ring to open and close the can, then slide it backwards to drink and forwards to close. These cans are able to maintain gas pressure and ensure liquid tightness thanks to their resealable closure system. In addition, these cans have a security seal that guarantees the consumer that it has not been previously opened, which is especially useful in situations where the beverage cannot be consumed all at once. For example, while driving a car, playing sports or shopping, beverages remain completely cool and carbonated.

Another proposal is that of Ball Packaging Europe, which in 2008 presented its BRE+ system , an update of its previous system called Ball Resealable End (BRE). This improvement allowed the manufacture of beverage cans that could be resealed after being opened, while maintaining the classic, cylindrical shape of the cans.The BRE+ is externally identical to the regular BRE, but uses a new plastic formulation that can withstand higher temperatures. This opens up new applications for resealable cans, which can now be used for beverages requiring pasteurization.The original BRE is an aluminum can lid into which a flat opening mechanism made of plastic is integrated. The can is opened and resealed by a simple rotary motion. The cans retain their characteristic flat end and, therefore, maintain their stackability and space-efficient packaging.

Also noteworthy is The Click Cap. Undoubtedly another innovative and eye-catching solution for the beverage industry. This revolutionary closure provides a sustainable, easily adaptable option in place of traditional plastic bottles, without compromising consumer convenience. The Click Cap design is simple and ready for market testing. It is based on standard shell geometries with a low stacking profile, ensuring seamless integration and optimal filling speeds, and The Click Cap redefines the can, opening up new markets and making larger sizes more attractive. In addition, it positions cans not only as competitors to PET bottles, but as superior options in terms of convenience and quality.

SipSlide also stands out, this 100% recyclable can lid features an easy-to-open, easy-to-close, easy-to-seal, spill-proof seal. Designed with young Millennials and Zoomers in mind who value convenience and are willing to pay more for it, SipSlide can lids are the perfect choice for those on the go. Whether for outdoor activities, travel, school lunches, concerts, at the office or in bars and restaurants, SipSlide is the ideal companion. The mechanism of SipSlide lids is very similar to that of standard pull-tab lids. Just lift the handle to break the seal, slide it open to open and drink the beverage, and then slide it back on (and you can repeat this process several times), and SipSlide is designed to be easily fabricated with existing can industry tools and equipment. The closures are a direct replacement that feeds smoothly onto all can filling lines.

The DSG Cap Can is a patented innovation from Dayton Systems Group. This system adds re-sealability to aluminum cans. It is more economical in cans 16 oz and up, and the new can end in sizes 206 and 209 (with size 300 to come) has a threaded dome with a removable lug cap. Preliminary market tests have already been carried out.
