Reducing the weight of caps and closures is a key lever to cut costs and environmental impact. With the Eco Low Profile for tubes line, Giflor’s patented range, the cap is up to 50% lighter and more compact than traditional closures, with mono-material solutions designed to match the material of the tube itself.
Less raw material means less energy in injection molding, lower CO₂ emissions, and more pieces per pallet: industrial and logistics efficiency with tangible savings across the entire supply chain. The lightweighting approach is also aligned with the PPWR: the European regulation requires material minimization and recyclability - core requirements that the Eco Low Profile line fulfills and makes market-communicable. From food & beverage to cosmetics to healthcare, more sustainable packaging improves both product and brand perception without sacrificing functionality or robustness.
Thanks to advanced engineering and low-profile design, Giflor caps combine performance with responsibility: – 50% weight/volume in the cap, 100% recyclability. The result is a package of measurable benefits - plastic and CO₂ reduction, optimized transport, regulatory compliance - that makes the sustainable choice. The Eco Low Profile for tubes line features a patented shoulder and is available in diameters 35/40/50, with glossy or matt finish in over 400 catalog colors.
