Choose the closure task

Specify the pack before the capper

Treat the bottle, cap, liner and product as one system. Use drawings and representative production samples to define the closure, critical dimensions and finished-pack result before choosing feeding or capping equipment.

  • Feeding and orientation: distinguish component presentation from bulk cap sorting, buffering and delivery to the capper.
  • Threaded closures: define thread engagement, tightening and torque-control requirements.
  • Pumps and triggers: include closure presentation, dip-tube insertion and application in the trial.

Start with the bottle, cap and label specification guide. For acceptance, distinguish application torque from removal torque and opening performance; use a defined test method and check leakage or seal performance alongside torque. The cap torque testing guide sets out the information to control.
