Built to Withstand: What Bottles, Jars and Closures Need to Survive HPP

Chris Baker has spent nearly 30 years immersed in packaging, with a specialist focus on bottles and jars. Since 2018, he has supported projects developing packaging for HPP treatment, predominantly for juices, alongside trials for other beverages and sauces. His session will cover the structural and material requirements of the container itself and the equally critical role of the closure in maintaining a reliable seal throughout the pressure cycle.
