Global Closure Systems (GCS) has launched a new standard closure for the water market; a lightweight 26mm neck finish solution, which provides a high level of performance and safety for consumers.
The objective of the brand’s new Gravity II closure is to provide an interchangeable solution by offering a single thread closure, while maintaining the same overall finish dimensions as the three thread 26/22 and allowing a simple customer line conversion. Developed for both flat and carbonated water products, Gravity II is 45% lighter than a PCO-16 finish.
Gravity II is on the way to being approved by the International Technical Centre for Bottling and related Packaging (CETIE) to be an industry standard. CETIE has taken on board the new GCS 26/22 single thread neck finish as a new standard closure, for medium carbonated products up to 7g/L CO2. Produced by Obrist Italy, a GCS plant, Gravity II has already been selected by Refresco and other major companies.
Back in 1971, GCS was the first in the beverage industry worldwide to introduce single piece HDPE closures and is today a global leader in beverage closure technology.
