When Halzephron Herb farm decided to launch a range of liqueurs as an addition to their long established culinary herb business, transparent Viskrings were chosen to hold the cork in place and to provide tamper-evidence without detracting from the colourful label design.

Viskrings, which are made from cellulose and stored in a preservative solution, are applied by hand and shrink down to a tight fit at ambient temperature. As no machinery is required and the bands, which are fully biodegradable, have a guaranteed shelf-life of one year, they are ideal for small to medium sized companies. Mrs. Deborah Fowler, proprietor, of this Cornwall-based company said, "We are delighted with the ease of application and the appearance of Viskrings on our products. We will continue using them as we further extend our range."
