From Rigid to Flexible: Closure Innovation That Elevates Safety and Sustainability

Live from Pack Expo 2025, John Strubulis, Hoffer Plastics Senior Product Manager, spotlights the company’s Trust-T-Lok® P22 spout. He emphasizes how its six-pitch design delivers a secure high-performance closure for demanding applications. These spouts ease the shift from rigid bottles to slim, efficient pouches, cutting material costs, energy use and CO2 emissions.

In this example, Strubulis highlights a collaboration with pouch converter and flexible packaging manufacturer Zacros America and automotive fluids leader Prestone. He shares how, through this collaboration, the P22 spout ensures seal integrity, enables child-resistant functionality, and supports a more sustainable, user-friendly packaging format.
