Why crown corks?
For over a century, crown corks have reigned supreme in the world of soft drinks and beer for at least three compelling reasons why
Excellent performance
Simple and at the same time compatible with all production methods, they provide high speed continuos bottling.
Preserved taste
Crown corks accelerate chilling while eliminating the need for ice and preserving authentic taste.
Guaranteed safety
Offering superior barrier from external agents, crown corks offers tamper evidence and minimizes contamination risks.
The two sides of steel
Crown corks feature a steel core with two material options to meet specific product needs: TFS (Tin Free Steel), which comprises nearly 70% of global crown corks and offers superior cost-performance with a grey finish typically lacquered white, and ETP (Electrolytic TinPlate), a premium material providing brilliant metallic finishes, exclusively used for shiny silver and golden crown corks. Both materials deliver exceptional corrosion resistance, formability, printability, sealing strength, and bottling performance.
Every crown cork, its own style
Each side of our crown cork offers complete customization, becoming a miniature marketing canvas. Mixing and matching our diverse finishing techniques creates endless personalization opportunities, perfectly crowning your product's uniqueness.
Surface primers
Primers provide a base for color application or enhance surface appearance. Three options available: white primer improves color vibrancy; transparent primer enhances adhesion and creates a metallized look; aluminum primer unifies the surface with an aluminum tone.
Printing tecniques
Our comprehensive printing solutions transform crown corks into powerful brand tools. Offset CMYK printing delivers thousands of precise color variations, cold activated ink provides interactive temperature-responsive color changes, lithographic printing embeds promotional graphics beneath the steel surface, and FDA-compliant inkjet coating generates unique codes for promotions and lotteries.
Beyond the surface: the liner
