Handling small bottles
Small containers may rotate with the cap or tip during tightening. The right clamp, nest or guide design helps keep the pack steady.
UK screw capper route
Small bottles can be difficult to handle because they are light, narrow and sometimes unstable. The capping machine should be selected around holding method, cap alignment and target torque.

Buying detail
Small containers may rotate with the cap or tip during tightening. The right clamp, nest or guide design helps keep the pack steady.
Smaller caps and necks may have tighter torque windows. The capping setup should avoid over-tightening or damaging threads.
For short runs, a semi automatic capper can be practical. Higher volumes may justify a compact inline route with more controlled handling.
Include cap diameter, closure type, bottle size, target output, available space and whether the capper needs to connect to filling or labelling equipment.

FAQs
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.
Send bottle and cap samples or drawings, cap diameter, bottle height and diameter, target output, product type, line layout and any changeover requirements.
