Quote preparation

What to send for an accurate capping machine quote.

The fastest route to a useful recommendation is to send practical details about the bottle, closure, output and production layout before machine selection starts.

Quote guide

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.

Selection notes

What affects the correct capping route?

Bottle and cap samples

Physical samples are best because they reveal thread engagement, cap grip, bottle stability, dip tube behaviour and closure fit. Clear photos are useful as a first step.

Dimensions to include

Send cap diameter, cap height, bottle height, bottle diameter, neck finish, bottle material, cap material and whether the cap includes a liner, tamper band, pump or trigger.

Production details

Include target output, current labour method, line layout, existing conveyor height, filling method, changeover frequency and whether the machine must connect to labelling or coding equipment.

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 I get advice from photos only?

Photos can help shortlist options, but physical samples are usually needed before final capping tooling or feed equipment is confirmed.

How many samples should I send?

Send enough representative bottles and caps to test handling, tightening and changeover. Include each important format if the machine needs to run several products.

Should I send filled bottles?

For some applications, filled samples help assess weight, stability and handling. Empty samples can still be useful for first review.
