Production process relevant to what information is needed to specify a capper for child-resistant caps?Capping and closures

What information is needed to specify a capper for child-resistant caps?

Practical guidance for child-resistant caps: capture samples, dimensions, output, acceptance tests and site constraints before buying.

Read the answer →

What normally controls the result?

Closure performance depends on cap and neck compatibility, presentation, seating, container support and controlled application force or torque.

  • Cap and neck dimensions
  • Liner and sealing surface
  • Cap orientation and seating
  • Application force or torque
  • Container support through the capping head

Information that makes a recommendation more accurate

  • Loose closures from normal batches
  • Container and neck drawings
  • Closure drawing and liner details
  • Target application or removal result
  • Required output
  • Orientation and feeding requirement
