Topping it off
As the caps and closures market enjoys steady growth, we continue to develop our coatings for use across a whole spectrum of packs.
About the Caps & Closures Market
Ahead of the pack
Metal caps and closures are essential in the food and beverage markets, where they are used to seal in and protect flavor and freshness. For consumers, they are easy to use and improve convenience when bottles and jars can be reclosed, protecting food and drink even once the pack has been opened. And for brands, caps and closures offer another opportunity to help their products stand out on the shelf.
For decades, AkzoNobel Packaging Coatings has been pushing the boundaries of innovation with our customers, and we have an established reputation for providing high-performing solutions that put us ahead of the pack. We offer both internal and external coatings, including a full color range combinable with our UV and thermal cured inks to support any design.
