[breadcrumb] Capping your wine bottle with the perfect closure can enhance the final product offering. However, what closure do you choose or what will capture the customer’s attention? These variables can make bottle packaging a little tricky, mainly because you want to save on time, investment, functionality and design.

As hybrid packaging experts, we are here to help! And have decided to walk you through Six Wine Bottle Closures Options that will make your glass packaging look beautiful.

Wine Bottle Closure Guide

1. Aluminium

Firstly, we provide a wide range of aluminium roll-on-pilfer-proof (ROPP) closures, including non-refillable & long-skirted closures with appropriate liners (EPI, Saranex & Tin). These solutions are perfect for:

• wine
• spirits
• water
• soft drinks
• food
• pharmaceuticals.

Secondly, the 30mm x 60mm aluminium wine caps provide unique brand enhancement thanks to various decorative options, from plain to printed, embossed & hot-foil printing. In addition, aluminium caps are often referred to as screw caps; these are now a popular choice for winemakers worldwide. We also offer over twenty plain colours from our stock product range.

Thirdly, aluminium caps are perfect for water, gin, vodka, liqueurs, cider or olive oil products. Furthermore, these aluminium caps can be plain or printed with different designs, and there is a choice of liner or non-refillable pourer.

In addition, aluminium bottle caps are designed and produced to meet the high standards required by the Pharmaceutical Industry.

2. Wine Capsules

Capsules provide an attractive visual boost to your product and offer enhanced product security via tamper-evident seals. You can choose from three different materials;

2.1 PVC & PET
PVC heat shrink capsules provide the simplest solution for a wide range of bottles, and they are both cost-effective & easy to apply.

2.2 Polylaminate
Polylaminate capsules blend aluminium and polyethylene to bring strong visual impact and provide decorative potential at an attractive price point.

2.3 Tin & Aluminium
For a superior finish to your product, tin or aluminium capsules are the ideal choice for lifting your brand’s presence in the marketplace, offering a premium tactile exterior.

Something Unique
If you’re looking for a unique capsule, all our products can be custom made to your requirements, with unlimited colours, finishes & print options available. We’re confident that we’ll be able to provide a capsule that captures the character of your product and complements your brand!

3. Corks

Opening the cork is a ceremony enjoyed by many – the pop as the cork leaves the bottle is music to many peoples’ ears!

Whether you require a natural, technological or synthetic cork, our range of cork closures will provide the perfect solution for still or sparkling wines while always complimenting your bottle.

Natural cork is a renewable product from the cork oak tree; these corks are also fully recyclable and biodegradable. This cork option is both eco-friendly and sustainable. Natural cork is suitable for when bottlers wish to keep their products 100% natural and where sustainability and minimising environmental impact are key to a brand’s ethos.

Diam & Mytik Diam closures help maintain sensorial purity and ensure consistency throughout the life of bottled wine.

Synthetic closures offer predictable, consistent & reliable wine corks. Wine corks come in varying diameters and lengths.

At Berlin Packaging UK, we understand that customers require a wide choice of cork options. Therefore, our range of cork closures can be made to order or despatched from stock to suit a variety of wine styles & packaging requirements.

4. Mekano

Mekano is a synthetic closure designed to provide top performance. These wine closures are neutral in terms of taste and smell; they are ideal for any food-grade bottle and meet the strict standards set by the sector.

The Mekano synthetic closures are thermoplastic resin made of high-performance technical polymers. The seal is made from a glycol rubber that provides a high gas barrier and is suitable for food use. The bar and veil are composite fibreglass materials that perform similarly to aluminium durability.

Mekano is an innovative mechanical closure born from the desire to implement technological innovation and create new aesthetic trends in the beer sector. These exciting bottle closures are organoleptically neutral and suitable for any bottle in the food sector. It is produced with raw materials compliant with the most authoritative international standards for food-contact materials.
