When it comes to bottle closures, several essentials need to be considered. These include functionality, end-user experience, and presentation.
The most important aspect of a closure is that it will securely seal the product inside the container. As a result, it will keep the contents fresh, clean, and safe from contamination. Other benefits may also be available depending on the closure design.
Disc Top Cap
Disc top caps, also known as press top caps, open and close using a small amount of pressure to dispense many liquid products conveniently. They are designed for one-handed operation and snap shut to prevent spills and product loss.
PP (polypropylene) disc tops are a favorite choice for packaging shampoos, conditioners, gels, and lotions. It is because they have a durable PP construction that resists chemicals contained in the contents.
They are available in various styles and can be paired with multiple plastic bottles. These durable closures for bottles feature a polypropylene construction, inner threading, and an orifice opening that fits a wide range of products.
Fine Mist Sprayer
A fine mist sprayer is one of the most versatile packaging products. They’re used in products across virtually every sector of industry.
They also come with several benefits that your customers will love. For example, they’re lightweight and require no butane to dispense liquids.
They also have a transparent hood and overlap, protecting your product from foreign particles. Therefore, they are excellent for various uses, from cleaning and deodorizing to personal care and beautification.
A fine mist sprayer is a pump that delivers a fine mist instead of a stream like a regular sprayer. These sprayers work excellently for hair styling and moisture replacement but can also be used on the skin and body.
Unlike a lotion pump, the actuator of a fine mist sprayer has internal components that allow the consumer to push down on it to spray the product out of the bottle. The actuator is typically made of PP plastic and can be produced in stock or custom colors. In addition, it can have a dust cap to protect the actuator from gathering dust, or it may include locking features to prevent accidental dispensing.
Sifter Fitment
Sifter fitments are a great way to shake out dry products like spices and seasonings while improving ease of use for the end user. These caps feature multiple hole opening options that allow you to disperse the right amount of your product quickly.
The sifter fitment is a plastic or metal disc that snaps over the rim of a bottle cap to dispense just the right amount. It’s most commonly used for spices, herbs, and seasonings but can also be helpful with powdered items.
Lug Cap
A lug cap is a type of metal closure that uses a unique threading system to close glass bottles and jars. Unlike continuous thread closures, these caps have lugs-angled metallic or non-metallic hooks that grip the container’s threads as they are twisted into place.
Lug caps are used in packaging various products, including hot-filled food items and beverages such as salsas and pasta sauces. When sealed, lug caps create a negative pressure that further closes the product.
Phenolic Cone Cap
A phenolic cone cap is a durable and heat-resistant plastic closure. It’s an excellent choice for use on glass bottles and can be used to bottle products that are more volatile or require special care in storage.
These caps have a polycone liner that forms an exceptionally tight seal and provides a chemical barrier to help prevent leakage. They’re also great for keeping liquids from evaporating, which helps preserve beer, wine, and alcohol.
Phenolic cone caps are available in various colors and sizes to match your product. They’re great for packaging aromatherapy blends, therapeutic serums, and more.
