SecurePak®, located in
Millbury, OH, is a provider of testing equipment used in the bottling industry.
It was founded in 1985 and acquired by Glassline Corporation of
Perrysburg, OH, in 1998. Glassline provides the manufacturing facilities.
SecurePak® is a specialist in every aspect of bottle cap
torque testing and seal testing. It provides a suite of tools to help bottlers ensure their products are
shipped with bottle caps that meet quality standards and consumer expectations.
SecurePak®’s most popular product is the spring cap torque tester, which has
been manufactured since 1946. It helps customers control the tightness on
bottle caps. Cap tightness is critical. Caps that are too loose cause
evaporation and leakage, and those that are too tight can result in bottle
breakage or caps that are difficult for consumers to open.
SecurePak® continued
to innovate with testers for all aspects of bottle cap quality assurance. In
1985 SecurePak® purchased the secure seal tester, which tests thread
and seal integrity on bottles, both glass and plastic. It’s designed for
aluminum crown and plastic caps and detects gas leakage.
The digital torque
tester was added in 1987 as an enhanced version of the spring cap torque
tester. It features a digital meter for easier and more precise reading. The
next step was the computer interface torque tester in 1989, which integrates
with computers and printers. There’s also an incremental torque gauge that
mounts on the torque tester models.

There is an optional
Teflon finish available for all exposed metal parts on these testers. It
resists cracking, chipping, flaking and peeling.
The
newest SecurePak® product is the TorqTraQ®. It’s a handheld digital measurement
tool compact enough for a pocket, which makes it ideal for maintenance and
process line use. It can also be used to
check capper machine torque.
Not
only are SecurePak® torque testers long-lasting, but also, they can be
recalibrated and repaired to provide years of service. SecurePak® supplies
calibration kits for use by customers in their factories, or customers may ship
their testers to the Millbury site, where they can be rebuilt, repaired,
recalibrated and returned with a certificate of calibration. Also, if the
customer requests, they will be refurbished and shipped back in like new
condition. SecurePak® will also convert spring torque testers and digital
torque testers and make them into computer interface torque testers.
SecurePak®
testers are durable and reliable and are used in factories throughout the
world. SecurePak® has four dedicated employees and
is supported by the full manufacturing capabilities of Glassline Corporation.
Its sales office is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM Eastern
