Closure Systems International introduces new child-resistant closure platform
The company noted that Defender-Lok has been specifically tailored for use in the over-the-counter (OTC) and nutraceutical sectors, focusing on safety, efficiency, and sustainability.
Defender-Lok is designed to fit into existing capping and filling operations, aiming to reduce downtime, feeder jams, and sealing issues.
The new closure system is expected to enhance production efficiency, streamline validation processes, and maintain consistent output.
It has received certification for being child-resistant and accommodating for older users, addressing safety concerns for both producers and consumers.
Notable characteristics of Defender-Lok include its certified CRC design, sustainable construction, high-speed capabilities, tamper-evident features, and compatibility with various liner types.
The closures are offered in adaptable formats to meet different market requirements.
In light of increasing extended producer responsibility regulations and specific US state mandates such as California's Senate Bill 54 (SB-54), the focus on sustainability has intensified.
Defender-Lok is said to have been designed to minimise material use, thereby decreasing resin consumption, shipping weight, and overall environmental impact.
CSI has reported that certain stock-keeping units already meet or exceed the 2027 SB-54 targets, and all closures in this line can be manufactured using CSI's PolyCycle post-consumer recycled resin, which is fully recyclable.
CSI Pharmaceutical Packaging global commercial innovation and technical development director Chuck Newswanger said: 'In the OTC and nutraceutical market, child-resistant closures demonstrate a brand's commitment to consumer safety and regulatory compliance.
'A well-engineered design meets the expectations of today's health-conscious shoppers, ensures compliance, and integrates seamlessly with high-speed filling and capping lines.'
"Closure Systems International introduces new child-resistant closure platform" was originally created and published by Packaging Gateway, a GlobalData owned brand.

Sen. Warren issues call to Schumer, Jeffries: Get on the Mamdani affordability train
NEW YORK — Sen. Elizabeth Warren said Monday that Democratic Party leaders who've been slow to back mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani need to get on board because the upstart candidate's focus on affordability offers a blueprint as Dems across the country are facing electoral setbacks. Mamdani has struggled to shore up support from establishment New York Democrats, including U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Gov. Hochul, despite winning the June 24 Democratic primary. 'New York City is the place to start the conversation for Democrats on how affordability is the central issue, the central reason to be a Democrat, and that delivering on it in meaningful, tangible ways that will touch working families is why we're here,' Warren said at a Mamdani campaign stop in Manhattan on Monday. The progressive, who ran for president in 2020, said her message was to elected officials hesitating to back Mamdani, while slamming former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who's running as an independent in November's mayoral election, as' bending a knee' to billionaires. New York City is seen as a bellwether for the country's politics, and the success to date of Mamdani's campaign, which features policy proposals aimed at affordability, populist messaging and ground outreach, has attracted attention from across the country as national Democrats struggle to find a clear vision. But, citing concerns about Mamdani's pro-Palestinian stance and call to raise taxes, some mainstream party leaders have been slow to embrace his candidacy. Mamdani and Warren appeared together Monday at a childcare campaign event at the DC37 union's downtown Manhattan headquarters. Childcare advocates gathered to talk about the high cost of childcare and the need for more affordable, or free, options. Expanding free childcare has been a core tenet of Mamdani's campaign. Contrasting Mamdani with Cuomo, the Massachusetts senator said the former governor's strategy is to 'go to a handful of billionaires, have 'em give you a bunch of money and hope that you will be able to flood the city with a bunch of negative ads and somehow that's going to float him to the top.' That strategy, Warren said, is ripped from a tired political playbook. Mamdani also attacked Cuomo's reliance on wealthy donors, including some who support President Trump, during the primary race. 'What New Yorkers showed by a record margin in a democratic primary was that they wanted a vision of this city that would make it affordable for each and every New Yorker,' Mamdani said. Talking to reporters in Midtown Manhattan, Cuomo challenged Warren's claim that he's focused on catering to billionaires. 'I don't even know what that means … I represented the people of this state, I fought more for the working families of this state and accomplished more for the working families of this state than either of them, frankly,' he said before listing off some of his gubernatorial accomplishments, like raising New York's minimum wage and jacking up taxes on millionaires in 2021. 'What did they actually do?' he continued. 'I'm a pragmatic progressive. I don't just talk about it, I do it.' _____

Company advised by Trump sons said it hoped to benefit from fed money, then took it back
NEW YORK (AP) — A public document filed by a company that just hired President Donald Trump's two oldest sons as advisers included a sentence early Monday that said it hoped to benefit from grants and other incentives from the federal government, which their father happens to lead. But when The Associated Press asked the Trump family business about the apparent conflict of interest, the document was revised and the line taken out. Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. are getting 'founder shares' worth millions of dollars in New America Acquisition 1 Corp., a company with no operating business that hopes to fill that hole by purchasing an American company that can play 'a meaningful role in revitalizing domestic manufacturing,' according to to the filing. The president has geared his trade policy toward boosting manufacturing in the U.S. The original version of the securities filing said the target company should be 'well positioned' to tap federal or state government incentives. That reference was taken out of the revised version of the filing. The Trump Organization didn't reply to a question about whether New America still planned to benefit from government programs or why the line was cut. But the outside law firm Paul Weiss that helped prepare the document sent an email to AP saying it was 'mistake' made by 'scriveners,' an old term for transcribers of legal papers. Kathleen Clark, an expert in government ethics, said any excuses are too late because the Trumps had already tipped their hand. 'They just deleted the language. They haven't committed not to do what they said earlier today they were planning to do," said the Washington University law professor and Trump critic. "It's an attempt to exploit public office for private profit.' New America is what's know as a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC. It's a publicly traded company that exists solely to use its funds to acquire another company and take the target public. New America plans to raise money by selling stock on the New York Stock Exchange at $10 a share. That will hand the two Trump sons a total of $5 million in paper wealth on the first day of trading. The company hopes to sell enough shares to raise $300 million, which it then plans to use buying a yet unidentified manufacturer. A press release issued by New America saying it was focused on 'American values and priorities." It made no mention of the aim to get government incentives. The filing to New America's potential new investors to Securities and Exchange Commission was explicit about what it was looking for in target company. It said, among other things, it would that can ride 'public policy tailwinds" by benefiting from federal or state 'grants, tax credits, government contracts or preferential procurement programs.'
