Product Preservation - Roll On TE (Guala Closures)
The Roll On TE screw cap, which is the first to incorporate a tamper evident feature on a standard cap size, was honoured in the Product Preservation category as judges felt it offered an “additional method” of protecting products from forgery.
The Roll On TE, which was developed by Guala Closures, comprises a coloured plastic ring, incorporated into a standard roll on cap (30x60mm).
When opened the ring becomes visible and cannot be removed with visibly damaging the closure - offering the wine and spirits sector additional protection without affecting production lines or filling speeds.
“There is an increased threat to premium drinks brands of counterfeiting and the judges felt this closure had strong credentials in offering brands an additional method of protecting their products from forgery without a great deal of extra expense, or changes to existing production lines,” said Devine.
“As someone closely involved with the drinks industry I was impressed by its simplicity and potential effectiveness.”
