German plastic closures manufacturer Bericap (Budenheim; www.bericap.com) has developed the EV 28/26, a press-on closure for light-weight bottle neck standard PCO 1881. The snap-on unit has a screw closure to open the bottle and the content is protected with a membrane as a tamper evidence feature.

The screw cap is designed to be dripless to avoid spillage from the closure and bottle after pouring and can be supplied with or without a flow regulator. The EV 28/26 has been developed for use with edible oils but is also suitable for products such as sauces, dressings and syrups. Other closures for standardised necks are in the trial phase, the company said.
