INDIANAPOLIS--(Business Wire)--
To meet increasing global demand for aseptically packaged juices,
teas, and isotonic drinks, Closure Systems International (CSI)
continues to expand their range of aseptic closures. Their latest
aseptic closure is Pro-Max 38mm 2SC. This one-piece linerless closure
is a lightweight design that offers excellent tamper evidence and
venting for consumer protection as well as superior application
performance.

   The precision engineered scored tamper evident band provides
critical tamper evidence for maximum security. The excellent venting
characteristics of CSI's aseptic closures also provide increased
package safety. "Superior venting closures greatly improve opening
performance and enhance consumer safety," stated John Ziegler, CSI
Global Marketing Manager. "In side-by-side tests, CSI closures set the
standard for venting performance in the marketplace."

   CSI has been providing aseptic closure solutions for many years.
As experts in this area, CSI knows how critical sterilization is to
the aseptic filling process. CSI's Pro-Max closures are designed with
smooth surfaces and shapes to facilitate ease and thoroughness of
sterilization and operational efficiency for bottlers. The lightweight
profile also provides important material savings, thereby helping
bottlers meet sustainability objectives with their existing 38mm
2-lead bottle finishes.

   CSI's growing aseptic portfolio includes their Pro-Max 38mm range
of caps for both two- and three-lead bottle finishes as well as their
line of 28mm linerless closures (Asepti-Lok/AS-Lok). The closures are
designed to fit both crystallized and non-crystallized finishes.
