herti is one of the leading manufacturers of aluminum ropp closures for wines and spirits, mineral water, juices, olive oil and pharmaceutical products. the company is certified by iso 9000 since 2000. since 2010 it is certified by brciop &ndash the global standard for packaging and packaging materials.&ldquovinstar&rdquo is the registered trade mark for the wine closures produced by the company. in february herti launched its latest product vinstar smart the first aluminum wine closure with pvc free granulate liner, suitable for both still and sparkling wines.the aluminium closure has been used to cap wine for several decades, but it is since the early 2000s that it has become a widely accepted closures system in europe. however, sparkling wine has been one category that has more or less escaped the move towards aluminium screw caps for one simple reason &ndash the standard saran based liners are not suitable for sparkling drinks. there have been other offerings on the market, but each with a weak point &ndash complex composite closures require different capping equipment, plastic liners have an impact on costs and the existing pvccompound lining does not correspond to the 21st century environmental requirements.against this background, and after extensive research on the needs of wine producers, we have brought to the market vinstar smart. it combines the simple standard wine aluminum closure with a gasket that ensures higher protection for the wine. &ldquovinstar smart&rdquo is fully compatible with current wine bottles and capping equipment. it keeps internal pressure of up to 4 bars and is ideal for a wide range of fizz wines.   the consumption of sparkling wines is growing and so is the popularity of aluminum wine closures among consumers, especially young people and among women. the innovative closure will enhance their satisfaction.&ldquovinstar smart&rdquo offers numerous possibilities for decoration and design flat litho and offset multicolor printing and hot foil printing.  with its distinctive characteristics vinstar smart expands the benefits which aluminum closures bring to the taste, quality and sustainability of wine. the pvcfree gasket gives excellent air tightness, significantly better than the saranbased liners. in spite of this the opening is smooth and easy. the closure is available in two dimensions 30x60 and 28x44 and can be used for both still and sparkling wines.  liners are suitable for pasteurization and are fixed to the aluminum without risk of distortion after cool down.the new closure is registered in the deutsches patent und markenamt agency.     more info about vinstar could be found at httpwww.packagingconnections.comvinstarvisit company website www.herti.bg
