A wide range of capsule sizes are available to suit bottles used for packaging still, Champagne or sparkling wines and spirits. Heat shrink capsules for bottles and PVC and PET sleeves can be pre-formed for the most optimal fit over complex bottle neck designs.

Tin capsules

For super premium, luxury pack formats are used extensively for spirits packaging. This is a one-piece capsule made by a deep draw and punching process using high grade rolled tin of 99.95% purity. The heavy metal content of our capsules is less than 50 parts per trillion. The capsule can be side printed in your choice of colours and the top can be debossed, embossed and or printed. A new generation of water-based and highly scuff-resistant inks comply with the most demanding conditions and up-to-date regulations. Rip-pull tear devices facilitate ease of opening leaving the decorated portion of the skirt on the bottle.

Polylaminate capsules

Combining beauty and quality with simplicity of use and at an attractive price point, the skirt of our polylaminate capsules is a composite of materials: two layers of aluminium with a film of polyethylene between. A top disc of aluminium foil is applied and the finished capsule exudes a soft tin-like quality. The skirt can be ink printed and hot foil stamped, and the top can be debossed, embossed and or printed. The tear device includes options of a protruding Tear Tab or rip-pull cutaway.

PVC or PET Capsule

A heat shrink capsule provides a cost-effective solution for users with multiple product lines and price points. It is ideal for meeting high-volume requirements and high-speed bottling capabilities. A good choice for applications requiring tamper evidence and with the advent of UV sensitive inks, anti-counterfeit measures can be enabled. Made from PVC or PET film with a top disc of aluminium foil. The capsule skirt can be ink printed and hot foil stamped, and the top can be debossed, embossed and or printed. The tear device includes options of a protruding Tear Tab or vertical and horizontal perforations.

PVC Sleeve

The PVC sleeve is similar to a heat shrink capsule but the sleeve comes without a top disc. Potential uses extend through wines & spirits to foods and pharmaceutical applications where tamper evidence and anti-counterfeit measures are critical. Made from PVC film, the sleeve is pre-formed to suit a bottle neck, jar or container thereby optimising the dimensions with fit, function and performance. The sleeve can be decorated in the same way as the heat shrink capsule. Vertical and horizontal perforations allow for ease of removal and part of the sleeve can be retained on the pack for informative or decorative purposes.
