Existing closures for beverage cartons come in two main types

• Lift or Flap – for "brick" type cartons, most commonly used for pasteurized milk;

• Screw cap – for all other beverage types

 

Disadvantages of Flap closure: Plastic cap with no "tamper evidence" feature

• Under the closure there is no carton, only aluminum foil

• As a result, aseptic protection is not identical on all faces of the carton

• Dirt can get underneath the "pop-up" flap during storage or transportation and contaminate the liquid during pouring

• Current closure does not seal and may leak if not kept in upright position

​

SealBev's BrickSeal closure's key features:

• The closure is rectangular and flat (like current closures), allowing efficient piling of cartons during storage and transportation

• The closure is a "sliding cutter" instead of the current "pop-up flap"

• When pulled backwards, the slider will cut an opening in the carton cover

• When brought forward the Slider will re-seal

 

Advantages

• Current closures require an opening in the carton which is covered by aluminum, a less protected area

• BrickSeal cartons are intact until opening

• This provides a better aseptic effect, allowing for longer shelf life

• After initial opening the package can be resealed

Material

• The Slider for Cartons can be made of light, coated metal or plastic
