The history of winemaking has been a rich one with its timeline stretching across several millennia. Unknown to many, it varies in category and type. Still and sparkling wine production are the two general categories in winemaking. The only distinction between the two is that still wine involves carbonation while sparkling wine does not. The most common variations in winemaking include red, white and rosé wine. The exquisite process of producing this classic beverage holds a culture of celebration and festivities. Its manufacturing is a tedious one starting from the selection of fruit, to its fermentation into alcohol, up until the process of bottling it into liquid. One key material in producing a certain wine bottle is the wine bottle capsule. It is typically the covering found over the cork. People often try to disregard these parts; after all, they are only focused on the drink itself. Little did they know that without these key parts, they would not be enjoying that same drink at all. Here is what you need to know about the importance of wine bottle capsules in winemaking.

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.

Prevents Rodent and Pest Contamination

Prolonged storage is one distinction of wines from other beverage. However, it is not safe to consume a wine that is infested with rodents, insects and pests. For instance, you stored a wine for a decade, only to find out that a rat has contaminated the said drink through the cork. That is why it is important that the wine bottle be safely secured with a wine bottle capsule to ensure that the cork is as it is and is not compromised by an unsafe environment.

Catchment Surface for Pouring

Wine bottle capsules also serve as a catchment surface for wine bottle once it is being served. It is possible to have wine drippings during the pouring of the wine. This is to make certain that no drop of wine will go to waste. It also serves as an added aesthetic tool to decorate the wine bottle itself.

Polylaminate capsules – where is it from?

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:

The polylaminate capsules is the visual art in the first place. To complete the overall design of your product, you will naturally need to close the cork with a polylaminate cap.
To bring all the ideas of a product designer to life, we can make the decoration of the cap, thanks to which your product will stand out favorably on the shelf; or use UV inks to glow with your logo in a dark club or bar.
With the BRANDING of the polylaminate capsules, it can become the “standard-bearer” of your product, which will be visible both from the side and from the top of the bottle, thanks to the decoration on the top disk of the cap.
In addition to the elegance of product design, you should not forget about protection and open control of your product. Due to the tight shrinkage of the polylaminate capsules and the correct perforation, it will be impossible to re-cap the bottle without obvious signs of opening. Moreover, thanks to the unique technology, at your request, we can produce such a cap, which will be impossible to remove from the bottle without opening it.
