Major Bottlers Convert to Closure Systems International's Omni-Lok mini® One-Piece Carbonated Soft Drink Closures

INDIANAPOLIS – May 27, 2009 - Offering maximum performance with minimum materials, Closure Systems International's short-height, one-piece Omni-Lok mini® closures have recently been selected by two major beverage parent companies for use across their carbonated and sparkling brand portfolios. "Bottler response to Omni-Lok mini closures has been enthusiastic," said John Grainda, Director - Global Business Development for Carbonated Beverages. "To date, we have converted over thirty high-speed bottling lines worldwide, with more conversions planned in the second half of 2009. The packaging material savings and sustainability advantages of CSI's Omni-Lok mini closure benefits bottlers, consumers, and the environment. The closure is one of the best performing profiles we have ever designed. CSI has long been recognized as a leader in "two-piece" lined closure technology, but now we have a one-piece linerless closure offering that is truly superior in the industry."

The patented OmniSeal design ensures high-performance seal integrity and carbonation retention across the widest range of temperature cycling conditions. The versatile closure is engineered for packaging sizes from 250 ml up to 2.5 liters and up to 4.3 volumes of CO2. In addition, the Omni-Lok mini closure assures consumer security and trouble free application performance with its patented "bead-behind-the wing" tamper band design.

The new Omni-Lok mini closures are part of CSI's total packaging solution for beverage bottlers, which include trouble-free bottling line conversions and superior application engineering expertise. CSI combines precision engineered closures, high-speed packaging equipment, and a full range of technical services to deliver beverage brand owners and bottlers the lowest total cost of operation.
