Why do wine bottle packaging favor aluminum bottle caps?

Last Updated :Apr. 10, 2024

In recent years, wine anti-counterfeiting has been paid more and more attention by manufacturers. As a part of the packaging, the anti-counterfeiting function and production form of wine bottle caps are also developing towards diversification and high-end. They are twist-off type, open type, can sing, talk, Multiple anti-counterfeiting wine bottle caps are widely used by manufacturers.

Although the functions of anti-counterfeiting bottle caps are constantly changing, there are two main categories of materials used, namely aluminum and plastic. Internationally, most wine packaging bottle caps use aluminum bottle caps, which have a simple appearance and fine production, giving consumers an elegant visual experience.

Compared with plastic bottle caps, aluminum bottle caps are not only superior in performance, but can also be made mechanized and large-scale, are low-cost, pollution-free, and can be recycled. Moreover, the aluminum bottle cap has a simple appearance, but is finely made. Advanced printing technology makes it consistent in color and exquisite in graphics, giving people a sense of refinement and elegance.

The plastic anti-counterfeiting cover has a complex structure and has the function of preventing backflow. Its surface treatment process is various, the three-dimensional effect is strong, and the appearance is unique and novel. However, its inherent shortcomings cannot be ignored. Since the glass bottle is purchased using a thermoforming process, the bottle mouth Due to the large size error, it is difficult to achieve high sealability. Due to the strong static electricity, plastic bottle caps easily absorb dust in the air. In addition, the debris generated during ultrasonic welding is difficult to remove, and plastic debris is harmful to wine. There is currently no complete solution to the pollution problem. Since part of the bottle cap is connected to the mouth of the glass bottle and is not easy to recycle, its pollution to the natural environment is obvious. In addition, the cost of plastic bottle caps is about double or even more than that of aluminum bottle caps.

The styles of foreign wine bottle caps mostly adopt the traditional model, with few changes. For example, the bottle cap of Scottish whiskey, with its pure black color and gold text, not only gives people a simple, elegant and long-lasting enjoyment, but also plays a role. It has achieved its due identification role. In wine bottle caps, aluminum anti-theft caps will still be the mainstream.

In comparison, aluminum anti-theft bottle caps can overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of plastic bottle caps. The aluminum anti-theft cover has a simple structure, strong adaptability, and good sealing effect. Not only can it print colorful pictures, but it is also easy to achieve mass production and has low cost. If special and advanced printing methods are used, the aluminum anti-counterfeiting cover will be better. The anti-counterfeiting effect is also very good. Of course, the anti-counterfeiting effect of the aluminum counterfeit cover is also very good.

Aluminum bottle caps also have certain defects, such as different colors on the sides of the bottle caps, easy paint peeling, and lack of change in appearance. However, technical solutions to these problems can be found.

As a part of the packaging, the wine bottle cap has two main functions:

• The first is sealing, which protects the wine. This is the most basic function of the bottle cap and the easiest thing for manufacturers to achieve.
• The second is aesthetics. As an integral part of the packaging, the small bottle cap can play a finishing touch.

At present, some manufacturers overemphasize its anti-counterfeiting function when selecting bottle caps, while ignoring its most basic sealing function. In essence, the anti-investment and anti-counterfeiting effect of a packaging product is related to its technical content, but what plays a decisive role is not the product itself, but the country's laws and regulations and consumers' self-protection awareness.
