Guala Closures Group obtained two of the 2006 MPMA awards with its spirits closure Wycap and a WorldStar packaging award for its wine closure WAK®

MPMA

The judges for this year's Awards sponsored by the MPMA (Metal Packaging Manufacturers' Association) were unanimous in their view that the entries demonstrated an exceptionally high standard of packaging. The Wycap, a smooth cylindrical 31x50mm aluminium closure, won in the "Functionality" and "Closures" section. Already on shelves for Wyborowa, it consists of a plastic inner closure containing all the thread details, along with an integral tamper evident band which protrudes below the base of the aluminium external shell. The smooth externals ensure that any print remains extremely well defined, clean and easily read throughout the life of the pack.

Guala Closures Group also wins the 2006 WorldStar packaging award competition with its innovative wine closure WAK®. The famous international award in packaging, WorldStar illustrates the continual advancement of the state of our packaging research.
