01
What samples to send
Send representative bottles, caps, liners, pumps, triggers or inserts. Include filled samples if the filled pack behaves differently from the empty pack.

Screw Capper Samples and Trials
Samples are one of the most useful parts of a screw capping enquiry. They help check cap fit, torque, bottle stability, feeding suitability and the likely machine route before final quotation.
Selection notes
How to approach screw capper samples and trials
Samples are one of the most useful parts of a screw capping enquiry. They help check cap fit, torque, bottle stability, feeding suitability and the likely machine route before final quotation.
- Bottle and cap sample review before machine selection
- Helps check torque, thread engagement and stability
- Useful for pumps, triggers and specialist closures
- Reduces assumptions in the quotation process

Important points before you shortlist equipment
02
What can be assessed
Sample review can highlight torque range, cap grip, bottle support, capping head style and feeding concerns.
03
Why it matters
A machine chosen from dimensions alone can miss practical issues. Samples make the recommendation more reliable.
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.

FAQs
Questions about screw capper samples and trials
Is screw capper samples and trials suitable for my bottle and cap?
Suitability depends on cap type, bottle stability, target torque, output and whether caps are manually placed or automatically fed. Samples help confirm the correct route.
What details should I send for a quotation?
Send bottle and cap samples or drawings, cap diameter, bottle height and diameter, target output, product type, line layout and any changeover requirements.
Can Lancing UK help before I know the exact machine model?
Yes. Lancing UK can review the product, pack, closure and output requirement first, then help shortlist a practical screw capping route.
Trial definition
Agree the samples, decision and pass/fail method before the trial begins.
A useful trial states whether it is selecting an automation route, approving tooling, proving cap feeding, diagnosing a defect, establishing capacity or preparing FAT. The component register and acceptance checks should match that decision.
Prepare samples
Identify production bottles, caps, liners, filled condition and accepted references.
Record defects
Keep failed packs and evidence of when and how the fault occurs.
Plan the run
Measure good packs, operator work, cap feed, stops and interventions.
Extended trial evidence
Include component compatibility, torque measurement and downstream sealing in the trial brief.
The trial should identify the current bottle and closure drawings, representative production lots, the torque instrument and method, any induction liner and the final integrity checks. That prevents a successful isolated capping cycle being mistaken for an accepted production pack.
Compatibility evidence
Confirm thread, sealing land, cap geometry, liner or tamper feature and normal variation.
Measurement evidence
Define tester, fixture, timing, units, operator technique and result type before data is collected.
Sealing evidence
Where applicable, prove cap application, foil bond, sealer window, stop/restart and post-seal inspection.
