Buying detail
Important points before you shortlist a machine
02
Bottle and pack appearance
Flip-top packs are often presentation-led. The capper should tighten consistently while avoiding visible scuffing or distorted lids.
03
Changeover planning
If one line runs several flip-top caps, each cap family should be checked for height, diameter, hinge position and tooling requirements.
Send your bottle, cap and output details to Lancing UK.
Include cap diameter, closure type, bottle size, target output, available space and whether the capper needs to connect to filling or labelling equipment.
