Chevron caps off auto lubricants

-- Packaging Digest, 3/1/2008 2:00:00 AM

Chevron Intl. Pte Ltd. now tops its bottles of Caltex and Chevron brands of automotive products for Asian distribution with 40-mm screw caps from Bericap's (www.bericap.com) Asia business. The new angular consumer package contains automotive products including Super 4T. Chevron's contract covers regional supplies of caps to plants in China, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, the Philippines, India and Sri Lanka.

Based on Bericap's standard SK40/24 PV Bericap closure design with a customized knurl finish and an embossed Caltex star or Chevron logo on top, the cap design was developed by Bericap's R&D center in Germany. Converting an existing mold, Bericap began supplying the closure in February 2007. An induction heat-seal membrane is reverse-printed with the Caltex logo on a white background on PET film laminated to foil. The heat-seal membrane adds tamper-evidence and an anti-counterfeiting feature. The shell of the cap incorporates “fixing” lugs that give it a modular design. Chevron says one reason it chose Bericap was that its capping process was optimized through specification and control of bottle neck finishes. The caps also has a uniform quality, it says.
