Perfume Bottle Caps & Closures

Which cap material should I choose?

Zamac gives the heavy, cold metal feel that reads as premium and is the default for 50–100 ml retail perfume; it is die-cast so complex shapes are possible. Aluminium is lighter and cheaper but can only be spun or stamped into simple forms. ABS is the budget option and takes colour well but feels light. Wood suits natural and niche brands. For most export perfume programmes, zamac with gold or silver plating is the safest choice.

What is a magnetic cap and why does it matter?

A magnetic cap holds onto the bottle with a magnet set inside the cap and a steel insert in the collar, so it clicks shut and stays on without threads. It lets the customer remove and replace the cap with one hand, and it hides the crimp collar completely, which looks cleaner on shelf. The trade-off is cost: a magnet and steel insert add roughly 15–25% to the cap price.

How do you guarantee the cap fits the bottle?

The cap is matched to the collar, not to the bottle directly, so the critical dimension is the collar outer diameter and its height. We ask for the collar drawing or a physical sample, then cut the cap cavity to fit with a 0.10–0.15 mm clearance. Caps and collars are always sampled together — approving a cap without its collar is the most common cause of loose or tight caps.

Can my logo be engraved or embossed on the cap?

Yes. Die-cast zamac caps take the logo directly in the mould as a raised or recessed relief, which costs nothing per unit once the mould is cut and is the most durable option. For aluminium and ABS, logo is applied by laser engraving or hot stamping. Relief in the mould needs a 0.3 mm minimum stroke width to read clearly.

Can you supply caps for bottles we already buy elsewhere?

Often yes, if you send a bottle and collar sample. We measure the collar and either match an existing cap mould or cut a new one. Where the collar is non-standard, it is usually cheaper to replace the collar than to tool a dedicated cap, and we will tell you which route is cheaper before quoting.
