The packaging closure is the primary interface between the productand the customer. Closures have undergone much evolution anddevelopment in recent years. The basic function of a closure is toallow easy access to a packaged product and to reclose the package,when the contents are not used fully in a single serve. However,closures are now expected to deliver a wide variety of additionalfunctions, such as ensuring that the package has not been openedprior to the first opening by the consumer, facilitating thedispensing of the product (especially for food and pharmaceuticals)and supporting the brand equity value of the product.
This volume considers the technologies relevant to packagingclosures and sealing systems, structured by types of pack. It isdirected at packaging technologists, those involved in the designand development of packaging and those who specify or purchasepackaging.
