Contract packing
Specify the capper around the closure, bottle and production target.
Lancing can help shortlist practical capping machinery after reviewing cap type, neck finish, bottle stability, output target, torque requirement and the way caps are presented to the machine.
Useful details for a quote
- Cap diameter, height and closure type
- Bottle height, diameter, shape and material
- Target bottles per minute or per hour
- Manual cap placement or automatic cap feeding
- Existing filler, labeller, conveyor or line layout
Selection notes
What affects the correct capping route?
Flexibility over single-speed performance
For contract packing, changeover time, cap range and bottle handling can be more important than maximum speed. The machine should match your most common jobs and allow sensible future coverage.
Closure variety
Screw caps, pumps, sprays, droppers, triggers and ROPP closures may need different equipment or change parts. Grouping jobs by closure family helps with practical machine selection.
What to plan
Prepare a matrix of bottle sizes, cap dimensions, run lengths and required outputs. This makes it easier to decide whether one flexible machine or separate dedicated stations are better.
Next step
Send bottle and cap information before final machine selection.
Photos, dimensions and target output help identify the most likely capping route. Physical samples are normally the best way to confirm tooling, cap feeding and bottle support.
FAQ
Common questions
Can one capper cover all contract packing jobs?
Rarely. A flexible machine can cover a sensible range, but very different closure families usually need different tooling or machine styles.
What matters most for contract packing capping?
Changeover, bottle stability, cap handling and repeatability are usually as important as top speed.
Should contract packers buy semi-automatic or automatic cappers?
It depends on average run length, labour, target output and how often jobs change. Lancing can compare both routes against your product mix.
