Haomei custom aluminum-plastic caps involve multiple aspects, including material selection, design, production processes, and quality control.
1. Material Selection
Aluminum foil layer: Provides excellent oxidation and moisture resistance, protecting the product from external environmental influences.
Heat seal layer: Ensures that the aluminum-plastic cap can achieve a perfect seal with the packaging container, preventing product leakage.
Base material layer: Offers good flexibility and processability, facilitating the shaping and processing of the aluminum-plastic cap.
Plastic materials are chosen to be non-toxic, oil-resistant, water-resistant, and possess good corrosion and light resistance. They typically do not deform or fade after being subjected to high-temperature steam sterilization at 120 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes (or 130 degrees Celsius for 5 minutes) and exhibit good secondary heat-sealing properties, such as polypropylene.
2. Design
Dimensions and specifications: Design suitable aluminum-plastic cap sizes based on the dimensions and specifications of the packaging container to ensure sealing effectiveness and aesthetic appeal.
Patterns and text: Print customized patterns or text on the aluminum-plastic cap according to customer requirements to enhance brand recognition and visual appeal.
Opening method: Design appropriate opening methods, such as easy-tear pull tabs or full-opening styles, for consumer convenience.
3. Processing Workflow
Aluminum sheet coloring:
Use machinery to apply colored lacquer to the aluminum sheets to meet various customer personalization needs.
After a period of drying, ensure the paint is fully dry and adheres to the aluminum sheets.
Pattern printing:
Print customized patterns or text on the aluminum sheets to enhance brand recognition and visual appeal.
After printing, drying treatment is also necessary.
Cap forming:
Use a punching machine to press the aluminum sheets into the basic shape of the caps.
At this stage, the caps have taken shape but have not yet reached the final dimensions and specifications.
Secondary processing:
Use a rolling machine for secondary processing of the caps to achieve the desired dimensions and specifications.
Ensure that the caps fit perfectly with the bottle openings to achieve a good sealing effect.
Decoration and cutting:
Decorate the caps according to customer requirements, such as color printing, embossing, or milling.
Use cutting and joining machines to cut the caps, forming the desired patterns and designs.
Liner installation:
Install plastic liners inside the caps to enhance sealing and leak-proof performance.
The liner materials must comply with food safety standards to ensure no contamination of the beverage.
Quality inspection:
Conduct quality inspections on the produced caps, including sealing tests and appearance checks.
Ensure each cap meets quality standards and satisfies customer needs.
4. Packaging and Transportation
Packaging: Package the inspected and qualified caps for transportation and storage.
Transportation: Deliver the packaged caps to the customer's designated location or warehouse for storage.
5. Quality Control
Raw material inspection: Conduct strict inspections of aluminum foil and plastic raw materials to ensure material quality meets requirements.
Production process monitoring: Monitor various stages of the production process to ensure the stability and controllability of the production technology.
Finished product inspection: Conduct rigorous inspections of the finished products to ensure product quality meets customer requirements and industry standards.
6. Customization Services
Customer communication: Engage in thorough communication with customers to understand their needs and expectations, providing personalized customization solutions.
Sample production: Create samples based on customer requirements for confirmation and modification.
Mass production: After customer confirmation of the samples, proceed with mass production to ensure product quality and delivery timelines.
After-sales service: Provide comprehensive after-sales service, including product consultation and technical support, to ensure customer satisfaction.
