Protective Sleeve for Exposure
Wine bottle capsules are intended as protective sleeves on the neck of a wine bottle located just over the cork. Outside elements can be deemed as detrimental to the production of the wine itself. And quite frankly, exposure to air might tamper the safety of the beverage. Without these wine bottle capsules, the fermented fruit drink might not be safe to ingest any longer.
Imagine you take a bottle of good whiskey, look at the label, and the next step, before you enjoy the taste, you open the cap, take out the cork and pour the drink into a glass with ice and then take a small sip. This is a kind of whiskey tasting ritual. We cannot imagine it if at least one step is missing. That is why, in addition to the whiskey itself, every element of this drink’s packaging plays an important role in forming an opinion and affection for a particular variety and brand.We suggest using our polylaminate capsules for spirits to create a good consumer’s experience. The polylaminate cap is a composite material, a kind of "sandwich" made of aluminum and polyethylene, in which polyethylene is coated with aluminum on the outside. We produce caps from our own production of polylaminate material of various thicknesses (from 50 microns to 150 microns). The material is flexible enough and the cap made of it is suitable for most bottles used for spirits, such as vodka, whiskey, brandy etc. Also, a large number of wine producers use the polylaminate cap to decorate their bottles. In decorating technology, the cap can reflect almost any designer's idea, combining different colors, foil with a noticeable shimmer, and embossing.What are the functions of a polylaminate cap:
On the liquor labels, we can find angels, beautiful Argentine or Italian mountains; hidden stories in them, and these labels can help you find the liquor you are looking for in your favorite store.
After all of your bottles have been safely filled and corked, you can choose to put heat-shrinkable capsules (shrink-caps) over the neck of the bottle. While not necessary to preserve the wine, they give a nice finished look to your bottles, and when coordinated with labels give your wine a professional look. Shrink-caps are called so because heat is used to shrink the plastic onto the bottle neck, holding it tightly and smoothing out any wrinkles or seams in the plastic. The best way to apply this heat is with the steam from a teakettle. At a rolling boil the teakettle will produce enough steam out of the end of it’s spout to shrink a capsule in only two or three seconds. Be careful not to burn your fingers! You can use blow dryers, but they are very slow. Hot air paint strippers work better, but they aren’t as fast as a kettle, and are a bit more dangerous to use. In a pinch, the heat from an electric stove element will also serve to shrink the capsules on, but again, be careful with a hot stove. The safest method is using a Fast Seal Tool to hold the shrink-caps in place while you dip them into a pot of boiling water. There are special Hand Held and Bench Top Shrink Machines called Thermocapsulers. They will shrink the caps in one second, and are ideal if you are going to be sealing large amounts of bottles. After sealing, you should leave your wine bottles standing upright for at least the first 24 hours. The compressed air has to work its way out past the cork, and it can only do that if the bottle is standing up. If you immediately turn the bottle on it’s side, the pressure will still be there, but the wine will now be pushing against the cork, and could force it out of the bottle. After 24 hours (or two or three days: it isn’t critical to do it right away) you should turn the bottles on their side for long term storage. This is when the wine against the cork will keep it moist, preventing leaks.
Advantages and applications of PVC shrink film
PVC shrink film can be divided into printing level and ordinary packaging level. Printing grade PVC shrink film, as its name implies, is used for printing and can be processed into printed labels. The vast majority of beverages on the market use PVC labels, such as those used on black tea, green tea, and mineral water bottles. Ordinary packaging grade PVC shrink film can be made into tubular film, L-shaped fold film according to requirements, and can be processed into tube bags and flat bags. Although ordinary packaging grade PVC shrink film can also be used for printing, the printing effect is not fine, and There are few printable colors. Generally, one or two colors can be printed according to the majority. PVC shrink film is widely used in wine, food, sporting goods, disinfection tableware, electronic appliances, daily necessities, crafts, construction products, audio and video products, pharmaceuticals, stationery, toys, portals, plastic hardware, glass ceramics, etc Packaging to make its appearance more vivid and beautiful, improve product packaging grade, and protect the product from dust and messy flowers. Is currently an ideal film packaging material.
Advantages of PVC shrink film:
1. Wrap the goods stacked on the pallet to make the packaging stable and neat and waterproof;
2. It has the characteristics of high tensile strength, large elongation, good self-adhesion and high transparency;
3. Shrink film, heat shrink film is mainly made by mixing and extruding several different grades of polyene resin, with puncture resistance and high performance;
