(September 23, 2025) <\/strong>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hofferplastics.com\/\">Hoffer Plastics<\/a> announced today the expanded Lok family of closures, debuting at PACK EXPO Las Vegas (Sept. 29-Oct. 1), Booth N-5138. Building on a legacy of customer-driven engineering, the new line extensions give brands greater versatility, speed and value across flexible and rigid formats &#8211; while enhancing performance, reliability and shelf appeal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Product highlights<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Hoffer&#8217;s Trust-T-Lok\u2122 Drop-In Cap &amp; Spouts<\/strong> runs on existing pouch filling equipment without modifications and cuts plastic by <strong>18.5%<\/strong>. Patented tamper-evident technologies boost product integrity and consumer trust. Caps are available with FDA-compliant PCR content upon request and are fully compatible with existing machines, including mono-PE and mono-PP structures, making this closure recycle-ready.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The new Trust-T-Lok\u2122 P22 Spouts<\/strong> ease the shift from bulky rigid bottles to slim, efficient pouches, cutting material costs, energy use and CO\u2082 emissions. Up to 26 truckloads can be consolidated into one. Larger printable surface area enables bolder branding on store shelves. The spout is offered in tamper-evident, child-resistant and spray-hose versions on one versatile spout base for universal use on pouch making equipment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>38 mm &amp; 28 mm Rigid Caps<\/strong> offer expanded options with uncompromising tamper evidence, faster lead times and compatibility with glass, PET and HDPE. These caps are ideal for fresh juices, dairy, kombucha and energy drinks. The 38 mm format comes in three distinct options-Hoffer Drop Lok, Standard Double Lead and DBJ neck finishes tailored to the niche premium beverage sizes most commonly seen at Whole Foods and Fresh Market.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;Every addition to the Lok line was designed with our customers&#8217; biggest challenges in mind &#8211; reducing costs, improving performance and sustainability and making their brands more visible on shelf,&#8221; said John Strubulis, Senior Product Manager at Hoffer Plastics. &#8220;Our commitment at Hoffer extends far beyond supplying closures.
