Venting technologies
Solving problems that occur throughout a package’s journey, from the first formulation to the shelf.
Breathability is the answer
Global trends such as sustainable packaging, natural ingredients, shelf-space contraction, rising shipping costs and consumer expectations are placing demands all across the supply chain.
Physical or chemical reactions during the concept-to-customer chain can make packages expand or contract, compromising product, package and brand integrity. Allowing containers to breathe without leaking eliminates unwanted container distortion in the most cost-efficient way possible.
Venting solution types
Liner
Vented liner
Bi-directional venting without leaking. Selig’s patented Circumvent™ foam liner and AirFoil™ induction liner are fully customizable.
Closure
Closure venting
Microporous membranes integrated into closures or components can convert virtually any closure to a vented format, including those that do not use foam or induction foil liners.
Press-fit
Press-fit vents
Injection-molded components with a microporous membrane, known by the trade name PreVentor™, that insert into specially adapted closures.
Gasket
Vented gaskets
Customized for trigger sprayers, pumps and other dispensing or specialty closures, for bi-directional, non-leaking venting.
Custom
Custom vent solutions
Selig’s Solution Development Engineers work with your team to design, prototype, sample and test custom venting solutions that meet both technical and economic needs.
Prevent bloating and paneling
Household, industrial and commercial products containing bleach, peroxide or other off-gassing ingredients can cause containers to swell or bloat.
Products containing surfactants, solvents or essential oils can cause containers to collapse or panel through oxygen scavenging or product migration.
Venting can also remove limits that have kept formulators from using the most effective ingredients at optimal or increased concentrations.
The benefits of venting
For fulfillment and distribution
- Resolve container collapse following a warm/hot fill, or altitude and temperature changes.
- Ship globally without concern for altitude, temperature, humidity or eCommerce handling.
- Extend shelf-life and safety in warehouses.
For consumers
- Peace of mind that the product purchased is safe for use or consumption.
- Pristine packaging and on-shelf appearance.
- Tamper-proof features that allow sampling of product fragrances.
