EzyLug is a game-changer in the world of packaging, specifically designed for ease of use and superior functionality. Its ergonomic design ensures that anyone, regardless of hand strength or dexterity, can easily open and close the cap. The secure sealing mechanism not only prevents leaks but also protects the contents from contamination, making it ideal for products like Melrose Coconut Oil.
EzyLug stands out for its accessibility. The cap is designed with an easy-to-grip texture, making it simple to open even for those with limited hand strength or dexterity. This feature is particularly beneficial for the elderly and individuals with disabilities, ensuring that everyone can use the product effortlessly.
At Caps & Closures, we are committed to sustainability, and EzyLug is a testament to this commitment. EzyLug utilises a high percentage of recycled plastics, significantly reducing the need for virgin materials. This potentially contributes to the circular economy by ensuring that the cap can be recycled and reused. This aligns perfectly with global environmental policies aimed at reducing plastic waste.
EzyLug’s design includes a liner seal that offers superior protection against environmental stresses. This feature significantly prolongs the shelf life of the product, reducing the risk of spoilage and waste. For Melrose Coconut Oil, this means longer-lasting freshness and quality.
