Less is More

Whether we’re improving the recyclability of products or extending shelf life to reduce waste, everything we do is centred around helping our customers' lessen their environmental footprint.

Our innovative cap designs, application processes and sealing methods mean you’re no longer obliged to create over-engineered packaging on single-serve products just to handle the intense production demands.

FORDS foil caps are designed to cope with a much wider range of container tolerances and our application and sealing methods do not exert anything like the top forces of comparable sealing systems.

Our unique solutions will enable you to produce packaging that is far more sustainable by simplifying and lightweighting unnecessary strength bridges whilst at the same time making the product more user friendly.

Testing Limits, Pushing Boundaries

FORDS' innovative closures achieve significant reductions in weight and material use, leading to cost efficiencies without compromising on durability.

Our rigorous testing regime, which includes pressure and bubble assessments, is always used to test strength of our seals but this time we took things a step further and, as you've seen, neither squeezing the bottle, standing on it, or hammering it could break the seal!

This robustness is essential for navigating today's intricate logistics and fast-paced online retail environments. For example, our seals are able to withstand air freight pressures to -80,000Pa. FORDS' sealing solutions ensure product integrity from the manufacturing line to the end consumer, instilling confidence every step of the way.

What makes this all the more impressive is that the application of a FORDS foil cap requires minimal top forces (approx. 80 newtons) and absolutely NO torque to achieve a strong seal suitable for today’s complex supply chains.

This facilitates the use of fewer materials and less energy throughout the production process as well as lighter weight goods in transit resulting in a dramatically decreased carbon footprint.

Looking Ahead

According to data from Euromonitor, global sales of bottled water will nearly double to almost 32 billion litres by 2027 - and demand for soft drinks, beer, and other beverages will also increase.

This surge in beverage sales presents a significant opportunity for companies to align with consumer expectations for sustainability and convenience.

By working with FORDS, brands can capitalize on this growth while addressing environmental concerns. Our advanced sealing technologies not only ensure product integrity and safety but also support eco-friendly initiatives with lighter, more recyclable packaging options.

As the industry evolves, FORDS stands ready to partner with forward-thinking brands aiming to meet the demands of an increasingly eco-conscious market while navigating the expanding global beverage landscape.
