If you already know exactly what you need, please provide a technical drawing of the bottle and the stopper. If you're unsure about your choice, our sales team will be happy to assist you in selecting the best stopper for your bottle.
Are your raw materials certified?
Yes! We prioritize sustainability and use certified raw materials, including:
- FSC-certified wood heads
- Natural cork from responsibly managed forests
- Compostable PLA shrink capsules
How does PLA differ from traditional plastic in bottle closures?
PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a biodegradable, plant-based material obtained through polymerization. Once converted into a film, it is used to create capsules, offering a more biodegradable alternative to traditional plastics such as PVC or PET. In recent years, the use of PVC has declined in material production, partly because PET contains significantly fewer crystalline structures than PVC.
Can I place bulk orders for bottle closures?
Absolutely! We cater to distilleries, wineries, and beverage producers with bulk orders at competitive prices. Our supply chain ensures reliable delivery of cork stoppers, screw caps, and capsules, meeting your packaging requirements.
How do I choose the right bottle closure for my spirits packaging?
Selecting the best bottle closure depends on your product type, branding, and preservation needs. Our experts will guide you in choosing between T-Top stoppers, corks, screw caps, and shrink capsules for maximum product quality and aesthetic appeal.
