Aptar Closures enters reusable beverage container market with innovative SureSnap valve

USA – Aptar Closures is making a bold move into the reusable beverage container market with its SureSnap valve and retaining ring system.

Designed for contactless, leak-free dispensing, SureSnap offers an innovative solution for brands looking to differentiate their water bottles, thermoses, and children’s sip cups in a competitive landscape.

In the push for sustainable packaging, the industry often emphasizes recyclability and material reduction, but reuse remains an area ripe for innovation.

Traditionally, reusable beverage containers rely on push-pull closures, which require finger or tooth activation. This raises hygiene concerns and increases the risk of leakage or contamination when left open.

SureSnap solves these challenges with SimpliSqueeze, a flow control valve that opens with a gentle squeeze and automatically seals upon release, preventing accidental spills and foreign particle ingress.

This hands-free operation enhances both hygiene and user convenience, delivering a steady stream and clean cutoff for an optimal drinking experience. 

Versatile, durable, and designed for performance

SureSnap is compatible with reusable beverage containers featuring integrated or removable straws, ensuring a secure seal even when the straw is detached.

SureSnap features a high-quality elastomeric valve combined with a polyolefin retaining ring, ensuring durability and reliable performance in reusable beverage containers. This combination enhances the product’s longevity while maintaining a secure, leak-free seal.

SureSnap is available in various sizes, opening pressures, and flow rates to accommodate a wide range of applications.

This versatility allows beverage container manufacturers to tailor the system to different product designs, ensuring an optimal drinking experience for users.

Safety is a top priority, and SureSnap is phthalate- and BPA-free and made from food-grade materials. This ensures it meets the highest health and safety standards, making it suitable for everyday use across all age groups, including children.

Designed for long-term usability, SureSnap can withstand thousands of use cycles without compromising performance.

Its robust construction makes it ideal for hot and cold beverages, dishwasher-safe applications, and microwave-safe applications, further reinforcing its role in promoting reusability and sustainability.

Simplifying assembly for manufacturers

SureSnap’s “snap & go” preassembled design offers a streamlined production process for beverage container manufacturers.

Unlike traditional three-piece silicone or rubber closures that require specialized equipment and expertise in flexible part handling, SureSnap offers a streamlined solution with its simple mechanical snap-fit design.

This eliminates the need for complex assembly processes, making it easier and more efficient to integrate into the production of reusable beverage containers.

SureSnap significantly reduces production time by simplifying assembly, allowing manufacturers to scale operations more efficiently.

The straightforward snap-fit mechanism speeds manufacturing, improving overall productivity and minimizing delays in getting products to market.

Additionally, SureSnap lowers assembly complexity, removing the challenges associated with handling multiple components. This enhances manufacturing efficiency and improves product consistency and quality.

A key advantage of SureSnap is its ability to shorten lead times, making it an ideal solution for small-batch applications and fast market entry.

Companies looking to launch new products quickly can benefit from its minimal setup requirements, ensuring a seamless transition from production to distribution.
