Closures
On this page11
What is here
57 continuous thread polypropylene lids, 12 metal or aluminum CT caps, 8 flip top caps, 5 PS CT lids, 3 spouted caps, 2 phenolic, 2 PP dome lids, 1 PS dome lid, 1 dairy lid.
Ninety-one closures for fourteen containers
Which sounds generous and reflects a narrow set of necks with many compatible lids rather than a wide range of functions.
All the containers are continuous thread
8 at 28-400, 3 at 38-400, 2 at 33-400, 1 at 28-410. So the closure options are all threaded, and there is no crown or cork finish on the shelf.
Which rules out the two traditional presentations
A crown cap for a sparkling cider and a cork for a bottle-aged mead. Neither finish exists here and neither closure exists in the catalog.
The 12 metal CT caps are the best option
A metal cap on a threaded glass bottle seals well and reads better than a plastic lid on a beverage. For a still product that is the pick.
The flip tops and spouted caps are strays
8 and 3, which are dispensing closures for a sauce or a syrup. They are on this shelf because the necks matched.
And so is the dairy lid
One of them. Worth noticing because it is the clearest sign that this shelf was assembled by neck and capacity rather than by category.
Liner is the thing to specify
A fermented beverage against a bare polypropylene land will seep over time. The liner is the part in contact and it has to be asked for by name.
Tamper evidence is not here
No shrink band, no tamper evident closure in this group. Which for a beverage sold at retail is usually expected.
Still products only
Which is the summary for this shelf, and it is the same conclusion the beer property reaches for a wider set of reasons.
