Design meets functionality

Every Guala Closures closure is born from the perfect balance between aesthetic excellence and technical performance. Our design philosophy transforms functional requirements into distinctive visual elements, creating closures that protect and preserve but also enhance brand identity and consumer experience.

Evolutionary approach, contemporary closures

A static design doesn't answer real-world needs, such as specific market challenges. That's why our closure design evolves continuously, adopting the latest technologies and processes to provide the best possible solutions. This evolution is driven by four essential pillars.

 

Premiumization

Adopting the latest decorating technologies, such as post-embossing metallization, never-before-seen designs and stunning materials to make a closure unique.

Brand Protection

Fighting against counterfeiting, unsafe products and grey markets, with robust safety features and unreproducible solutions.

Sustainability

Continuously researching new design rules, responsible materials and carbon reduction initiatives, to give our contribution to our customers' sustainability objectives.

Digitalization

Enabling digitally connected packaging solutions that support traceability, authentication, and consumer interaction.

For every need, a unique closure configuration

Every Guala Closures product is uniquely crafted for you. Our research global hub delivers innovative solutions that exceed expectations while maintaining the highest quality and safety standards.

We offer limitless possibilities in sizes, shapes, materials, and decorations to express your brand identity. From essential closures to sophisticated security systems, we create solutions that protect your product and enhance its perceived value.
Our cutting-edge machinery and consolidated engineering expertise across all facilities ensure consistently superior quality worldwide.

It all starts with materials

Our products are manufactured using a wide range of materials, from aluminium to wood and special polymers. These materials combine the technical performance necessary to achieve our levels of quality and safety. They also meet the increasing demands for sustainable solutions, where we have reached a leading position, recognized in all markets.


Eco-Design Guidelines

To make our closures increasingly eco-friendly, we rely on three main models for developing sustainable solutions, fully aligned with our customers’ sustainability objectives.
Each model addresses different sustainability challenges and can be applied individually or in combination. This ensures that the design process at all Guala Closures R&D Centres follows the same objectives and, using consistent tools, considers the entire life cycle of the closures—from initial production to end-of-life.

DESIGN TO REDUCE

Focuses on minimizing the resources and materials needed to produce the closure.

DESIGN TO CHANGE

Focuses on the increasing use of recycled and renewable materials.

DESIGN TO REVIVE
