Seasonings are an essential part of cooking and mealtimes, and there are so many different types. Therefore, it is important for seasoning caps to facilitate pouring according to the characteristics of the contents and the situations in which they are used, such as viscosity and the size of ingredients. In addition, there are a wide range of other requirements, such as ease of opening, resistance to contamination of containers, and ease of separating caps from bottles after use for environmental friendliness. The Toyo Seikan Group proposed a total package to Kewpie for this product to solve such various problems and to enable users to use the dressing comfortably, and we developed the cap.

Various mechanisms to improve ease of use

Ease of opening

We have developed a mechanism that allows the cap to be opened simply by turning the cap in the opening direction, without the need to pull out the pull ring, thereby reducing the number of actions required to open the cap. The use of a triple-start thread has also been developed to make it easier to open.

Ease of pouring

We developed the bore diameter to match the viscosity of the contents and the size of the ingredients through trial and error with our customers. The shape of the spout has also been designed to prevent dripping and make it easier to pour the liquid to the right place.

Dirt resistance

We shake the container to shake the contents before opening the cap to pour the dressing. A resealing ring has been added to the inner surface of the cap to prevent the contents from sticking to the cap, reducing the risk of the contents dripping from the cap even when the container is opened after shaking.

Ease of sorting

We have developed a mechanism with excellent sortability that allows the inner plug to be easily pulled out of the bottle by tearing the outer circumference of the inner plug during sorting.
