We need at least 14 days unless the colors you want are in stock. We have a small assortment of colors that are readily available.  Delivery lead time depends on the size of your order and the type of closures required.  We can produce decorated orders of 100,000
pieces in as little as 5 weeks.  However, the delivery time may increase to 8-10 weeks during the peak season.

We are specialized to decorate 5,500 caps (MOQ) to medium batch size. Decoration is done by hot stamping method on the head
and/or side.  The most common colors are gold, silver, copper, white and black. Other colors are possible and will be tested beforehand for quality assurance.  Foil colors are available in matte gold and matte silver.

 

We also offer multi-color designs.These designs are printed flat on the
aluminum or applied using hot stamping foil completely or partially to the
side.If you would like a special base
color, we can spray the pantone color of your choice as a varnish on the caps.

First, we will need a drawing (AI), label or picture of your product.  We are able to develop your design from any information you give us.  Just send us your request and your file.

Shortly after submitting your information, you will receive an artwork proof with the details of your closure design, i.e. basic color, design and decoration method.If everything is acceptable, you will approve the design by signing the
proof. After approval, the decoration tools, foils and/or lacquers will be
ordered. We recommend you start with a standard color before a specialized color is ordered.

For most wine closures, we offer Saranex®; for spirits extruded polyethylene (EPE) without lamination; EVA for carbonated drinks with an internal pressure up to 8 bar (116 psi).  We also offer Saran Tin and Alkovin.

Samples of our standard colors can be sent to you free of charge upon request. If you are looking for a specific tone, we can match the corresponding tone in standard and sprayed colors.  Sending a sample of your product in advance is not a problem.  However, there is a small charge.  Please be aware that it takes as much time to make a sample as it does to produce an order.

The minimum order quantity from our standard color assortment is one box (1,100 pieces).  The minimum for decorated closures is 5 boxes (5,500 pieces). If you order different quantities of standard colors with the same decoration, or without decoration, we will total the standard colors, and you will receive the scale price based off of the total quantity.

 

For example, you order different quantities
of various colors because you have different grape varieties.

 

30,000 of Red #60

60,000 of Cream #31

5,000 of Blue #41

3,000 of Green #51

2,000 of Yellow YY

 

TOTAL = 100,000 pieces – You will receive
the scale price for 100,000

 

It is best to order early.  If you have long term bottling plans and know
your quantity projections in advance, we can discount your orders up to 7%.

We refer to this cap as BVS 30 x 60 with an indication of the liner type,
standard base color, as well as the name/number of the artwork.
