Pump closures
Dip tube handling and cap start need checks before quoting.
Lotions and creams
Capping machine for lotions and creams
Lotions and creams often use pumps, screw caps and presentation-led bottles. The capper route needs to protect pack appearance while improving repeatability.
Presentation focus
Bottle marking, cap alignment and finished-pack appearance matter.
Product residue
Creams and lotions can affect bottle grip and cap cleanliness.
