Frequently Asked Questions
What types of plastic bottle caps are available?

What bottle neck finishes are compatible with these caps?
These caps are compatible with bottles using standard neck finishes: PCO 1810 (still water, CSD up to 1.5 L), PCO 1881 (carbonated up to 2 L), PCO 1881 HS (hot-fill), 29/25 (beverage/food), and 38mm wide mouth. Neck finish compatibility is confirmed during specification review based on your bottle design and capping equipment.
How do I choose the right cap for my beverage?
Cap selection depends on three factors: (1) Beverage type — still water, carbonated, hot-fill, or viscous products each require different cap and liner specifications. (2) Bottle neck finish — the cap must match the bottle’s PCO or other neck finish standard for proper sealing. (3) Capping equipment — rotary cappers, inline cappers, and pick-and-place systems each have specific cap handling requirements. Our team reviews your bottle specification, production line configuration, and product characteristics to recommend the optimal cap type, material, and liner combination during specification review.
What MOQ and lead time apply?
Standard MOQ is 50,000 pieces per SKU per cap type. Lead time is 10–20 working days ex-works. Custom colors, special liners, or printed caps may require higher MOQ and extended lead time.
Can bottle caps be supplied with complete bottling projects?
Yes. Bottle caps are included in packaging packages alongside capping machines, fillers, cappers, filling systems, capping equipment and other packaging components. This ensures cap neck finish matches bottle specification, cap dimensions match capper specifications, and material grade matches beverage type — one procurement package with full compatibility verification.
