Crowns

Our range of crowns are designed to satisfy a variety of customer needs. Options include easy-to-open crowns, oxygen scavengers, oxygen barriers and crowns for hard to seal packages. Suitable for multiple package styles including glass and aluminum bottles, our crowns are compatible with beer, carbonated soft drinks, wine, sparkling wine and water.

OXYCAP®
OXYCAP® features a special scavenger liner which absorbs both oxygen molecules trapped in the headspace during bottling and prevents further oxygen ingress over time. This absorption/barrier process keeps product flavor fresher and extends shelf life.

Twist-off and pry-off crowns
We offer a wide range of metal weights and liner profiles to mmeet various product needs in removal torque and pressure retention.

Decoration
Customer supplied or custom designed artwork can be printed directly on crowns for product customization. For unique giveaways or promotions, we also have the ability to print underneath the caps.

High-Impact Decoration

Creative colors and designs stengthen brand recognition and differentiation and heighten consumers' aesthetic pleasure and enjoyment. Brand owners can also take advantage of unique decorative tactile finishes to make sure beverage cans have just the right look and feel.

Tactile Finish
A special combination of ink and varnish create a tactile finish that adds texture to the can. This finish can add a "wet look" to the can or enhance the realism of images by giving them a natural look and feel.

Soft Touch Finish
Creates a highly tactile and aesthetic effect for retail packaging, encouraging consumers to reach out, touch and examine products. This varnish produces a matte, paper-like finish and is applied over the entire package for maximum effect.

Reactive Inks
Changing to light and temperature, these inks create an interactive consumer experience that can be both fun and informative.

Pilot Facility
Being first to market with an innovative new product is essential for success in today's competitive marketplace. Lengthy testing processes can often delay product development, as they occupy valuable line space and slow production of existing products.

To help customers overcome this challenge, Crown offers access to a fully equipped, Food & Beverage Pilot Facility where new product packaging can be carefully tested. Located in the United Kingdom, the facility features a unique beverage pilot filling line designed to conduct short runs for new product trials and fine-tune packaging processes before major product launches. This careful expert screening saves time and money, as customers are freed from trailing products on their own production lines, and speeds time-to-market for new products.
