FAQ

Answers about cap customization, neck finish matching and MOQ

Home / FAQ

What is a ROPP cap and how is it different from a regular screw cap?

A ROPP (Roll-On Pilfer-Proof) cap has no pre-formed threads. During capping, the capping head rolls the threads and tamper-evident band directly onto the bottle neck. Once opened, the band breaks, giving visible tamper evidence. It is the standard closure for spirits and wine and requires ROPP capping equipment. Regular screw caps have pre-formed threads and are used where resealing matters.

Why does the neck finish number matter more than the diameter?

Neck finishes such as 28-400 and 28-410 share the same diameter but differ in thread profile and engagement depth, which directly affect removal torque and liner compression. Matching by diameter alone causes loosening and leakage. Always match the full finish number and verify with gauges or a physical sample.

Can you accept very low order quantities?

Yes. We accept orders of any size from A to Z and keep flexible capacity reserved for trial runs, small-batch replenishment and gift-set projects. MOQ varies by product structure and printing process โ€” contact us for exact figures.

How do I choose the right shrink capsule size?

Common pairings: cork-finish wine bottles usually take 30*55mm or 30*60mm capsules covering the cork; short-neck spirits bottles such as whisky and vodka fit 31*60mm or 34*65mm; olive oil screw-finish bottles with wider flanges usually fall in the 32-35mm range. Final size must be confirmed by actual T/E/H measurements or a sample, and a small shrink test before mass production is recommended.

What information should I prepare before requesting a quotation or sample?

Bottle neck drawing or a physical bottle sample, the product to be filled, logo in vector format (AI/PDF) with Pantone color codes, estimated quantity and target market. The more complete the information, the faster the size matching, structure advice and sampling.

Can you provide test reports for food-grade and medical-grade materials?

Yes. Plastic, metal, food-grade and medical-grade materials we supply can all come with test reports, suitable for liquor, beverage, food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and health products.

Why does my shrink capsule wrinkle after shrinking, and how to fix it?

Common causes: capsule diameter too large, uneven heating, shrink material mismatched with shoulder geometry, wrong tunnel temperature, or inconsistent manual operation. For small batches use a heat gun evenly from top to bottom; for large volumes use a steam tunnel. Testing 10-20 samples before mass production catches most issues.

Can I source caps, glass bottles and cartons together?

Yes โ€” that is our strength. Sourcing the complete package from one supplier means neck finish and cap, stopper and capsule, bottle and carton are all matched at the source, eliminating component mismatch and leakage risk. See our product range.

Do custom colors or embossed logos affect MOQ?

Industry practice: custom colors, offset printing and embossing require extra color-matching and tooling investment, so their MOQ is higher than stock colors with printing. We will suggest a balance between stock-color customization and full customization based on your quantity.

How are lead time and shipping arranged?

We are based in Yantai, Shandong, near Qingdao Port with stable sea, rail and air freight. Exact lead time depends on product structure, printing process and order quantity, and is confirmed in writing before the order.
