In addition to cost savings, replacing metal would enable
the closure producer to provide its spirits customers with
customization in density and color, because Gravi-Tech
formulations are colorable, and can be tuned to replicate
up to 5 times the density of traditional polymers.
Choosing Gravi-
Tech formulations helped them to show that consumer
perception and profitability are not mutually exclusive.
