This is a key consumer-pleaser with the larger cap making for easier opening and better pouring — with less splashing and less waste, according to the company.  The carton can be used for dairy and juice products.

Tamper evident composite closures

Stanpac has developed the SecurTEC line of tamper evident composite closures for the ice cream and frozen dessert markets. The technology provides a tamper-evident feature without added materials, extra equipment or labor, or slower line speeds. The solution is a simple snap-on application, accomplished with regular lidding equipment. A tear-band connected to the body of the over-cap locks onto the rim of the container, allowing customers to visually see if product tampering has occurred prior to purchase.
