SIPA launches Ultralight, High-Performance GME 30.40 LW Neck Finish

SIPA has unveiled a groundbreaking innovation in carbonated soft drink (CSD) – the GME 30.40 LW neck finish. Weighing a mere 2.04 grams, this lightweight powerhouse is set to redefine industry standards for sustainability, performance, and compatibility.

Unmatched Weight Reduction, Uncompromising Performance

The GME 30.40 LW represents a remarkable 19% weight reduction compared to the standard GME 30.40 closure. This achievement translates into significant material savings for beverage producers, contributing to lower costs and a reduced environmental footprint. Despite its featherlight design, the GME 30.40 LW doesn't compromise on performance. It boasts an impressive capacity to handle up to 4.2 volumes of CO2, ensuring optimal carbonation and consumer satisfaction.


Seamless Integration and Sustainability


Fully tetherable to comply withcurrent regulations, the GME 30.40 LW prioritizes convenience and sustainability. The tethered design prevents cap loss and litter, promoting responsible consumption and a cleaner environment. Importantly, this innovative closure maintains full compatibility with existing GME 30.40 capping lines, allowing for seamless integration into current production processes.


Leveraging XFORM and XTRA Technologies


SIPA's commitment to cutting-edge technology is evident in the GME 30.40 LW's production process. The GME 30.40 LW neck is easily manufactured within the XFORM preform system and efficiently handled by the XTRA blow-molding machine. This integration ensures high-quality production at scale, meeting the demands of the global beverage industry.
