Tagger lids
Aluminium, when used in combination with other materials, is ideal for making cans.
Our strip for tagger lids offers many favorable properties: It can be hermetically closed, it facilitates easy opening and guarantees the product a long shelf-life. Every year, more than 700 million cans are sealed using foil from Hydro.
We supply pure aluminium strip, either with a clear, protective lacquer coating or with a heat-seal lacquer coating, in thicknesses from 0.060 to 0.120 mm.
Fields of application
Traditional products for aluminium tagger lids include the packaging of powdered foodstuffs, such as milk, coffee, cocoa powder or granulated beverages. New dry products are constantly being added, for example tobacco and mixed spices.
Hydro produces aluminium strip lacquered with a protective coating on both sides for “Penny Lever Closures” or coated with a heat-sealing lacquer on one side for “Peel-off“ applications. Lids of this “Peel-off” quality can be opened very easily by means of the pre-formed easy open ring or tear-off tab. The lid detaches completely from the can.
