ELP 740/743

Giflor's ELP (Eco Low Profile) bottle caps are the quintessential example of products which are ideal for e-commerce. Not only are the products compact in size but they are also highly impact resistant. The smaller size and subsequent lighter weight ensures reduced space requirement and easier transportation.

Liners

Giflor offers a number of lining options for standard neck finishes in assorted neck diameters and threads. Maintaining the integrity of the pack in the supply chain and ensuring that there is no accidental opening, options include IHS, lift'n'peel and pressure sensitive liners for PET and PE/PP containers.
