GUALA CLOSURES – INVENTIONS ABOVE ALL
CTT (Capacitance Tag Tamper)
Guala Closures offers a complete portfolio of security closures, designed to provide advanced protection and ensure brand integrity.
The offer includes solutions with tamper-evident and anti-counterfeiting technologies, some of which integrate NFC connectivity to reinforce both product security and consumer engagement.
Among the most innovative developments is the Capacitance Tamper Tag (CTT), a next-generation tamper-evident system that leverages capacitive detection to identify any unauthorized opening or alteration. This cutting-edge solution enhances product authentication while enabling dynamic interaction with the brand through digital channels.
The CTT (Capacitive Tamper Tag) is an advanced type of NFC technology integrated into the closure. Unlike standard NFC labels, which operate with two contact points serving as an antenna, the CTT has four. Two act as a traditional NFC antenna, while the other two are designed to detect whether the closure has been opened. This is made possible by measuring a change in capacitance, specifically when the chip is separated from the conductive surface.
Guala Closures is at the forefront of CTT innovation and is currently leading two major projects in collaboration with top international brands.
This groundbreaking solution is as easy to implement as a traditional NFC label but offers enhanced features: it can detect unauthorized openings, thus providing tamper evidence and ensuring product authenticity.
At the same time, it opens up new opportunities for consumer engagement through digital experiences such as loyalty programs and personalized content.
In addition, the CTT serves as an effective Track & Trace tool, providing visibility across distribution channels and helping to combat the grey market by identifying unauthorized circuits where the product is sold outside official channels.

NEW PRESTIGE BRAND GUALA CLOSURES – TRANSFORMING UNIQUE NEEDS INTO INDUSTRIAL ICONS
Prestige is the highest expression of what Guala Closures can create for premium spirits. This brand brings together closure solutions where innovation is meticulously custom-designed and where style combines with high performance. Each of these small works is uniquely created according to the specific needs of the world’s most prestigious spirit labels.
One of the most important variables in the creation of these products lies in the materials used, which give the closures unique aesthetic and functional characteristics. Guala Closures offers luxurious solutions in wood, Gravitas (a solution characterized by its luxurious appearance and heavier weight thanks to the use of premium materials such as a plastic-metal composite), ceramic, Zamak (a zinc alloy offering a premium look and feel), glass, cork, aluminum, and plastic.
The careful selection of materials, combined with customized shapes, textures, and finishes, makes it possible to create iconic closures.
