Capping and induction sealing are different operations
Applying a closure mechanically and sealing a foil liner address different parts of the package. For induction sealing, the liner and container material must form a suitable combination. Provide the complete set and describe how containers are presented to the sealing head.
Can bodies require matching ends
Provide the can-and-end supplier's format and seam information. Container guidance from the FDA describes evaluating double seams with examination and measurements together. This is a general evaluation principle, not certification of a machine or finished package.
Identify the jar finish and station arrangement
For vacuum jar capping, include the jar finish and closure construction. Explain the loading sequence and the selected station configuration. Do not combine the power from one station entry with dimensions from another.
Use a complete enquiry sample
Send a container drawing, matching closure and the requested closing result. Where relevant, include liner or gasket details and how the finished closure will be evaluated. Discuss the intended product separately from the closure mechanics.
Describe the order of closing operations
Show the container as it arrives and after each requested operation. Specify whether caps are already fitted, whether a liner is present and where closed containers go next. Keeping these handovers explicit helps avoid treating capping, liner sealing and finished-closure assessment as one interchangeable operation.
Details to prepare
| Operation | Key items to identify |
|---|---|
| Bottle capping | Bottle geometry, closure style and presentation |
| Induction foil sealing | Container, cap and compatible liner |
| Can seaming | Can body, matching end and seam requirements |
| Vacuum jar capping | Jar finish, closure and station configuration |
Use the relevant equipment category to compare layouts, then contact FTE with the actual container set. Catalogue dimensions support the conversation; they do not replace assessing the package and process.
