As a result of the enormous material savings involved, the new PCO 1881 short neck is making serious inroads in the market, taking over from the PCO 1810, mainly in the CSD and beer sectors. Sports and wellness beverages, bottled in PET bottles and using a Sports Cap, are now latching onto this trend, as several big soft drinks companies supplying discount retail chains have already started the change-over to the new neck-finish.

Corvaglia Closures Eschlikon AG, one of the first cap producers to react to the trend, has already a multi-cavity mould tool in operation, producing 3-piece push-pull Sports Caps with the 1881 short neck finish. This high capacity tool enables Corvaglia Closures to assure continuous, highest quality supplies to their customers right from the start of their PCO 1881 bottling activities.
