Closure firms Bapco and Aptar have developed two all-in-one foil closure solutions, Sim-pull and Trilogy for the food industry. The new light-weight, sustainable and easy-open closures feature Bonded Aluminium to Plastic (BAP) Technology, built-in tamper evidence and good seal integrity.

The Sim-pull solution, which comes with a flip-lid design allows consumers to open lids with just one hand, and is ideal for a diverse range of contents including snack food and granular foods, such as nuts, crackers, baking products and sweeteners.

Besides the closure features a range of ring-pull types and allows manufacturers to tailor the solution to their product specifications.

According to Bapco, the can-end replacement, Trilogy featuring a two-piece spout and closure solution that is easy to open and reseal, can be customized according to the marketer's application.

Bapco Closures CEO Stephen Dawson said the solutions meet a growing demand for re-sealable closures for on-the-go and at home eating.

"In addition, the hygienic and secure solutions are particularly suitable for elderly and younger consumers because of their ease of opening," Dawson said.
