Honey is known to be a healthy alternative to sugar, due to its abundant nutrients, which are proven to boost the immune system. For this reason, honey sales have increased worldwide during the Covid-19 pandemic.

PET, or PP/PE in order to reduce any chance of contamination with quality and freshness

Closures for honey market needs to be composed of food compliant materials, like PET, or PP/PE in order to reduce any chance of contamination. Although honey has a long shelf life, the product can still become crystallized or oxidized over time. To help avoid this, it is key that the closure is air tight. Pairing a tightly sealed closure with Aptar’s SimpliSqueeze, could further promote product freshness, by limiting the amount of air and moisture that get inside the bottle.

A good closure to enhance consumer convenience and satisfaction with less food waste

Consumers are always looking for convenient and clean packaging. Many of Aptar’s products feature:

easy-open closure;
spill-resistant valve;
large finger recess;
robust hinge.

All features which can help honey manufacturers enhance their consumer’s experience. A good closure should also act as a wide base for inverted packaging, which can allow consumers to store the package in a way that is more easily accessible, and promotes less food waste.

Product freshness, brand’s identity for consumer satisfaction

Beyond product freshness and consumer satisfaction, a package also needs to match a brand’s identity and catch the attention of consumers.

The features of Aptar’s closures, such as Royal’s bi-injection capability, Dolce’s unique shape, and Tab Top’s ergonomic design all help to bring differentiation to store shelves.
