New Beverage Bottle Cap Threading Device Introduced

Rieke Packaging Systems has designed a unique bottle cap threading "outsert" for a new aluminum soft drink beverage bottle. The plastic outsert is applied to the mouth of the bottle, allowing the aluminum cap to be tightly resealed. It will provide strength to the neck area of the bottle, as well as provide consumers the enhanced comfort of drinking from plastic instead of cold aluminum.

"We were delighted to work with this manufacturer in developing this novel approach to the bottle cap assembly and we think it provides a variety of advantages for everyone," said Lynn Brooks, Group President of TriMas' Packaging Systems segment.

"The aluminum can keeps the beverage colder, especially during outdoor events, and the screw cap allows the bottle to be re-sealed so the beverage doesn't lose its carbonation," he said. "The aluminum can itself offers a lot of increased potential for the company to show exciting product graphics."

The new soft drink aluminum bottle is currently being test marketed at selected events in several regions in the U.S., and was featured at the Olympic Games held this past summer in Beijing, China.
