Produced at the French firms UCP site in Scotland, TIVA 2 is a non-refillable closure that has a tamper evidence ring built into the top part of the body.
The ring breaks off if forced removal from the bottle is attempted leaving permanent evidence – immediately visible by end use consumers.
GCS said it reduces cost by using a lightweight method to transport the fitment inside the cap during transit until it reaches the capping head.
The patented UCP Flange design also gives it good sealing capability, carrying the TIVA 2 valve in the shell and creating the seal on the glass after application, giving a seamless changeover between TIVA 2 and a standard aluminium closure.
Additionally, TIVA 2 uses the same controlled bore specification as used for the current TIVA® products, GF908 glass finishes, which is one of the most common industry standards.
GCS said the TIVA 2 provides a smooth pour to meet the demands of the bartenders, who prefer a sub 75 second time to empty a 70cl bottle of spirits. In addition its non-drip feature means that the alcohol is in the consumer’s glass and not on the counter top.
