Identify the samples
Mark bottle and closure type, supplier, lot or mould where known, drawing revision, liner or insert and the production format to which each sample belongs.
Contact ROPP capping specialists
Send your ROPP capping enquiry.
Send the bottle and closure references you have, the decision you need and your target accepted output. Mark missing drawings or provisional formats as such. Lancing can then identify which samples are needed before recommending a semi-automatic, inline or rotary capping route.
Contact FAQ
Before you send samples.
What should I send for a ROPP capping quotation?
Send bottle dimensions, cap diameter and height, neck finish drawing or photos, product type, target output, line layout and any torque or leak test requirements.
Can I send samples?
Yes. Contact Lancing first so the team can confirm what bottle, cap and product samples are needed for compatibility checks.
Before samples are dispatched
Link every bottle and closure sample to the intended machine trial.
Contact Lancing before sending physical samples so the required quantity, filled or dry condition, delivery address and any handling restrictions can be agreed. Do not send hazardous or leaking product without prior written arrangements.
Describe the project
Include target accepted output, batch pattern, existing filler/conveyor/labeller, proposed cap-feed method, all changeover formats and the planned installation environment.
Define the evidence
State the required opening-torque method, leak or storage test, tamper-band and cap-finish criteria, plus any customer or site document that controls approval.
Useful links before enquiry
Keep confidential information controlled
Use the enquiry form for the initial project outline. Lancing can then confirm the appropriate route for detailed drawings, samples and commercially sensitive line information.
Contact Lancing by email or phone: sales@lancinguk.com and 01494 623015.
Technical enquiry pack
Send enough evidence for a useful first machine recommendation.
The form above remains the quickest route. Add the following information in the message and arrange sample delivery with Lancing where physical testing is required.
Packaging
- Bottle supplier and neck-finish reference
- Closure supplier and cap reference
- Liner, insert or pourer details
- Photographs and representative samples
- Good and rejected finished packs if troubleshooting
Production
- Required accepted output and run pattern
- Manual, semi-auto or automatic preference
- Number of current and future formats
- Cap replenishment and bottle-flow method
- Upstream and downstream equipment
Acceptance
- Visual cap-finish standard
- Opening or torque method
- Leak or pressure method
- FAT and site witness requirements
- Installation, commissioning and training scope
Prepare a controlled trial
Use the sample-trial guide and downloadable record so every bottle, closure lot, machine setting and result can be traced.
Prepare the site and acceptance plan
Use the FAT guide and installation checklist if the enquiry includes automatic feeding or line integration.
Separate a ROPP enquiry into components, process and decisions
Give each bottle-and-cap pairing a simple project reference and use it consistently in your message, drawings and sample labels. If a closure supplier has suggested a particular bottle finish or liner, include the associated reference rather than relying on a descriptive cap name.
Tell the team whether you are replacing an existing capper, automating hand loading or developing a new pack. Explain what would make the project successful and which decision you need next: a suitability review, a machine shortlist or a quotation based on agreed formats.
- Current evidence
- Include available component drawings, photographs of an assembled pack and any existing closure test records.
- Format range
- Distinguish the first production format from later possibilities and mark any components still being selected.
- Project boundaries
- Describe adjoining equipment and clarify whether feeding, conveyors or inspection are part of the requested discussion.
Can I enquire without a final cap drawing?
Yes. Identify the information that is provisional and ask what evidence is needed for the next specification step.
Should different cap suppliers be listed separately?
Yes. Keep supplier and component references clear so their samples and trial outcomes can be distinguished.
