APPE an Bericap launches e-liquid packaging solution
Leading European packaging specialists, APPE and Bericap, have launched a packaging solution aimed at the European electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) market for the reliable supply of e-liquids.
With the majority of e-liquid bottles and closures currently imported from the Far East, the e-cigarette market is witnessing poor quality, usually in the form of leaking packaging. Additionally, there has been a number of reported incidents of exposure to e-liquid due to the lack of child-proof caps.
APPE and Bericap’s entry in to the fast-growing e-cigarette market will eliminate these concerns whilst additionally meeting supply and demand issues facing ecigarette manufacturers and distributors. Until recently there has been no regulation on e-cigarettes, however, a revision to the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD), in May 2014, introduced a clause to regulate e-cigarettes.
This aims to benefit consumers by improving the safety and quality requirements for products in the EU. All member states have until May 2016 to comply with the revised legislation. APPE and Bericap’s packaging solution is the hassle free way to ensure full compliance. The leak free bottles are supplied in the regulated 10ml size, havea child-resistant closure system meeting ISO 8317:2003 standard and a unique tamper-evidence mechanism.
