The low-profile, 2” Disc Top Lite closure offers lighter weight combined with premium customization options, the company claims

August 21, 2024 – Aptar Closures, a provider of dispensing solutions, has introduced a new lightweight, more sustainable disc top closure. Named 2” Disc Top Lite, the premium closure is the third in a series of novel disc top dispensing solutions the company has introduced globally for beauty, personal care and home care products this year.

2” Disc Top Lite builds upon the success of Aptar’s traditional disc top closures but with a significantly lighter, low-profile design, the company claims. This new disc top closure has a 2-inch diameter and weighs just 10.2 grams – 23% lighter than standard 2” disc tops. Aptar says the reduced part weight translates to a substantial decrease in plastic usage, which in turn can help brands meet their sustainability goals without compromising performance.

The closure is available in polypropylene (PP) and is available in post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, further improving sustainability for brands. Featuring a crab claw closure, 2” Disc Top Lite is produced in a 24mm custom thread neck finish, with a 3mm x 8.5mm orifice. The closure is suitable for medium-to-thick viscosities, offering compatibility with a wide variety of applications.

2” Disc Top Lite’s sleek design portrays a premium aesthetic, making it an attractive choice for a broad range of products. It is available in a variety of frost and gloss finishes, and brands can customize the closure with logos or other marketing messages for even greater shelf appeal and differentiation.

“At Aptar Closures, we are constantly seeking ways to innovate while minimizing our environmental footprint,” said Erin Harmon, North America Product Line Director at Aptar Closures. “The 2” Disc Top Lite is a prime example of how we can deliver on both sustainability and functionality, providing our customers with a premium solution that supports their sustainability initiatives without sacrificing quality.”
