zadas y resistentes a múltiples ciclos de apertura y cierre sin afectar las propiedades organolépticas del vino. Guala Closures ha desarrollado tapones con tecnología NFC que permiten verificar si una botella ha sido abierta o manipulada, como el modelo Něstgate, que ofrecen trazabilidad y autenticación, proporcionando información adicional al consumidor sobre el vino, su origen y maridaje. Nomacorc Pops de Vinventions es un nuevo tapón para vinos espumosos, fabricado con materiales sostenibles y diseñado para mantener la presión y preservar el perfil aromático del vino. Varias empresas han explorado las oportunidades de nuevos materiales, especialmente para perfumería. Los retales de mármol de la fabricación de muebles y piezas escultóricas han sido el material elegido por TNT Group, por su versatilidad y variedad de acabados —crudo, mate o pulido brillante— sin necesidad de tratamientos superficiales adicionales, lo que proporciona una sensación de peso y frescura que se ajusta a las expectativas de los productos de lujo. TNT Group también colaboró con Beach House Group: desarrollaron el tapón para la fragancia Noyz, utilizando Limex®, un material innovador compuesto en un 35-45 % por carbonato de calcio. En España, uno de los últimos lanzamientos es On-Off Smart System de Coster, una solución todo-en-uno (bomba, cuello y tapón), con una función de bloqueo específica que evita la necesidad de una tapa protectora. The Spanish plastic caps and closures market is estimated to reach 4.56 million units in 2025 and is expected to reach 5.14 million units by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.44% during the 2025-2030 period, according to data from Mordor Intelligence. Suppliers are introducing comprehensive solutions to address the growing demand for childresistant (CRC) and tamper-evident (TE) packaging for syrups and liquid medications. Furthermore, the "on-the-go" lifestyle of Spanish consumers demands lightweight and easy-to-use devices, which has led to more compact, lightweight, and practical packaging across various categories. The combination of changing consumer lifestyles and the expansion of specific beverage categories is shaping the Spanish custom caps and closures market. All of this is combined with tamperevident closures, easy-open systems, and sustainable packaging solutions that align with growing environmental concerns. The packaging industry widely uses plastic caps and closures for food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and household cleaning products. Plastic caps and closures are made from durable polymers, primarily polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). High-density polyethylene (HDPE) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) are used in caps and closures for various packaging applications. Due to their superior strength and barrier properties, HDPE caps and closures are predominantly used on water, dairy, and juice bottles. Polyethylene has long been the preferred material for water bottle closures due to its organoleptic properties, which ensure that the contents of the bottle are not affected by the closure material. Furthermore, due to its versatility and robustness, HDPE is considered one of the most suitable plastics for cosmetic container closures, due to its resistance to chemicals and moisture, its ability to withstand impacts, and its recyclability. Alternatives are currently being introduced, such as sugarcane-derived polymers and even paper/cardboard. Tetra Pak is testing a paper cap for cartons of Aneto vegetable broth, creating a package that contains 73% paper by weight and, including the plant-based polymers used in the coatings and the opening neck, 87% renewable content. This will be applied in an initial pilot batch of family packs in Spain. The Spanish plastic caps and closures market is fragmented and comprises several global and regional players, the leaders being, according to data from Mordor Intelligence: Berry Global Inc., Bericap Holding GmbH, AptarGroup, United Caps, and Grupo Alpla. Regarding closures for beverages, specifically wines and spirits, the following stand out: Amorim Cork (Corticeira Amorim), Parramon Exportap, Vinventions, Excellent Cork, Grupo Torrent, Crealis (formerly Rivercap), and Ramondin (metal capsules). Smart and luxury closures For wines, cork closures are being improved, with optimized viscoelastic properties and resistance to multiple opening and closing cycles without affecting the wine's organoleptic properties. Guala Closures has developed closures with NFC technology that allow verification of whether a bottle has been opened or tampered with, such as the Něstgate model. These closures offer traceability and authentication, providing the consumer with additional information about the wine, its origin, and food pairing. Vinventions' Nomacorc Pops is a new closure for sparkling wines, made with sustainable materials and designed to maintain pressure and preserve the wine's aromatic profile. Several companies have explored the opportunities offered by new materials, especially for perfumery. Marble offcuts from furniture and sculpture production were the material chosen by TNT Group as it is a versatile material that offers a variety of finishes—raw, matte, or polished— without the need for additional surface treatments, providing a sense of weight and freshness that meets the expectations of luxury products. TNT Group also collaborated with Beach House Group to develop the stopper for the NOYZ fragrance, using Limex®, an innovative material composed of 35-45% calcium carbonate. One of the latest launches in Spain is Coster's OnOff Smart System, an all-in-one solution (pump, collar and cap), with a specific locking function avoiding the necessity of an overcap.
