The 26mm crown cap is a metal closure for glass bottles used in beer, soda, cider, kombucha, and other carbonated or pasteurized beverages. It is stamped from tinplate and formed into a standard crown profile. The cap can be printed with your logo, brand colors, or custom artwork. We supply these caps in bulk to bottlers, breweries, co-packers, and packaging distributors. They are designed to run on standard crowning equipment and seal against the bottle finish.

The cap is formed to standard crown dimensions. This allows it to work with common bottle finishes used for beer and soda. It is compatible with typical crowning heads and filling lines.
Tinplate provides stiffness and corrosion resistance. It holds the crown shape during capping and helps maintain seal pressure after the bottle is opened and resealed.
Liners are selected based on the product. PVC-free liners are available for brands that want to avoid PVC. Standard liners are used for many carbonated soft drinks and beer. The liner helps block oxygen and CO2 transfer.
Your logo, brand name, or graphic can be printed directly on the cap. Multiple colors are possible. This turns the cap into a branding surface that is visible when the bottle is opened.
We match cap colors to Pantone references or physical samples. This helps keep the cap consistent with your label, bottle, or brand palette.
Send your artwork in AI or PDF format. We review print size, color count, and registration. A digital proof or physical sample can be provided before mass production.
We help select the liner based on your beverage type, carbonation level, and shelf life target. PVC-free and standard liners are available.
Caps can be produced in solid colors, metallic tones, or custom matches. Gloss and matte finishes are both possible.
Caps can be packed in bulk bags, small boxes, or ready-to-use cartridges depending on your filling line setup. We can discuss the best format for your operation.
Tinplate sheets are inspected for thickness, coating weight, and surface defects before printing.
Printed caps are checked for color accuracy, registration, and ink adhesion. Tape tests and rub tests are used to confirm the print will hold up during handling.
Cap diameter, crown height, and skirt flare are measured. This supports correct fit on the bottle finish and consistent capping performance.
Liners are checked for correct seating and adhesion inside the cap. A misplaced liner can cause leaks or cap damage.
Packed cartons and pallets are inspected before loading. Inspection records can be provided on request.
Caps are packed in poly bags inside cartons. This protects them from dust and moisture during storage and transport.
Cartons are stacked on pallets and stretch-wrapped. Pallet patterns are planned for stable container loading.
A container loading plan is issued before dispatch. It shows carton count, pallet count, and placement for efficient freight use.
