Amcor Introduces Mono-material Flip-top Closure for Sauces

9 November 2026 – Amcor has launched the Moderna Flip Top tamper-evident (TE) closure for vinegar, sauces and dressings, combining a one-piece mono-material construction with an integrated tamper-evident feature designed to remain attached to the closure after opening.

The new closure features a recycle-ready mono-material design that, according to Amcor, can be recycled where appropriate collection facilities exist. Its lightweight construction is also intended to reduce material usage and help brand owners respond to plastic packaging regulations. However, the company has not disclosed a specific material reduction figure.

A key feature is the integration of the tamper-evident system into the flip-top lid. A visible seal indicates whether the product has previously been opened, while the TE tab remains captured within the closure body after opening. This helps prevent the detached tab from becoming a separate item in the waste stream or being inadvertently discarded into the environment.

Designed for PET bottles with a 29/21 neck finish, the Moderna uses a snap-on application. It is available with 2 mm, 6 mm and multi-orifice options to accommodate different pouring and dispensing requirements. A bore seal is incorporated to help protect product freshness, while a range of standard colours provides options for brand customisation.

Matthias Hammersen, vice-president sales, Amcor Global Rigids Packaging Solutions, said: “With the Moderna Flip Top TE closure, we’ve created a lightweight design that combines functionality, customer convenience and recycle-readiness, supporting the circular economy while providing improved usability for a wide range of applications.”
