Superfos develops award-winning closing mechanism

The Danish-based company claims that SuperLock, which won an award at the recent ScanStar2004 Awards ceremony, is suitable for both food and non-food consumer goods that need to meet high standards for user-friendliness, hygiene and product safety.

The Danish-based company claims that SuperLock, which won an award at the recent ScanStar2004 Awards ceremony, is suitable for both food and non-food consumer goods that need to meet high standards for user-friendliness, hygiene and product safety. It features a unique liquid tight closing mechanism that guarantees high product safety both before breaking the seal and at re-closure. The jury complimented the SuperLock on its high degree of functionality. The lock mechanism is based on a sealed twist system, similar to ones used on other plastic bottles. However, Superfos claims that the new lid is much easier to open and close. By twisting the lid only 60°, the sealing ring comes off as the tamper evident band is broken. The pot cannot be opened without breaking the seal. To give the consumer a further perception of product safety, the lid lets out an airtight sound when the seal breaks.
