Easy Open/Re-Close

Reinventing Fresh.

Packaging that helps preserve freshness, stays mobile and avoids spilling stands out on store shelves and prompts repeat purchases.

Now more than ever, consumers want packages that are easy to open
and close quickly and securely.

 Sonoco helps you achieve a wide variety of brand strategies through our easy-open/re-close packaging solutions, including SealTab™ open and re-close closures and SmartSeal® easy-open and re-close systems.


SealTab™ open and re-close closures

The patented SealTab closure has a built-in, pressure sensitive, pull-down tab for re-close applications. Sonoco offers you a host of options for making the most of this innovative technology, including:

 
  • The value-adding opening feature, created by in-line laser scoring or precision die-cutting
  • Shapes or patterns
  • Rotogravure printing
  • Multi-layer material
  • Food-grade adhesive

Your brand benefits from adding a reclosable feature to an existing package. You also eliminate an extra process to apply labels, and can use the SealTab solution on existing equipment.

  • Tamper evidence
