Bottle neck & capsule foils

    Aluminum foil capsules or bottle neck labels add visual quality to any type of bottle. They are a valuable part of the product’s personality and a guarantee of authenticity. Imagine Champagne and traditional bottled beers without them!

 

    But the foil is not just there for decoration. It also ensures security, provides tamper evidence in the case of ‘over the crown’ foil, and engenders consumer confidence in the quality of the contents. Aluminum foil’s physical properties of ‘dead fold’ and malleability enable it to cope with the contours of bottles and closures in an easy-to-apply and brand building way. Opening a twist-off cap or crown closure is easily done without disturbing the appearance of the neck foil thanks to tear off perforation. The art and technology of bottle neck foils is moving ahead continually, resulting in material savings whilst retaining elegant appearance and high product security. Champagne capsules are generally made from thicker gauge aluminum foil which is sometimes coated or laminated with a plastic layer. Aluminum foil has been adopted as the natural successor to lead as the material for spin-on capsules for wine bottles. Neck foils are frequently embossed which, apart from giving a distinctive appearance, also makes the labels easy to handle. Recent developments have also enabled smooth labels to be used. Labels with partial embossing adding an element of design appeal and individuality are a further option.
