EXTERIOR SIDE

Tinplate

Production of tin-plate of different thicknesses and temper and hardness.
• 0.20 mm
• 0.21 and 0.18 for special projects

TFS

Almost 70% of crown corks in the world are made of Tin Free Steel. TFS is widely used in the metal packaging industry due to its really competitive cost-performance ratio. TFS has a dull grey stone finish and usually comes with white lacquer applied on top.

ETP

Electrolytic TinPlate is a more expensive material, tin coated with beautiful bright metallic finish. Adds luxury appearance to the bottle caps and is ideal for premium packaging. Shiny silver and golden crown corks are made only with ETP steel.

PRIMER

White Primer

White enamel lacquer is mainly used on top of TFS steel. It allows colours to reach a bright and glossy look and gives a pure white appearance. Most Pantone references can be achieved using White enamel.

PRIMER

Transparent Primer

Clear size substrate. It improves colour adhesion to the steel plates, hence always applied to TFS and ETP steel, when metallic appearance is requested.

PRIMER

Aluminum

Aluminum size primer unifies the surface finish with a constant aluminum shade look. It is used instead of white lacquer or clear size and also provides excellent adhesion to the applied colours.

PRINT

PRINTER

A Four-colour litho press that utilises UV drying stations. The use of specially formulated inks allows rapid drying of each colour after it is laid down by exposing it to Ultra Violet light. This eliminates the extended drying times normally associated with the use of conventional oil based, paste litho inks.

PRINT

CMYK

Anything you imagine can be printed in the small crown surface area, using CMYK process printing. We generate fully customized designs including images, photos, faces and any type of fancy prints.

PRINT

Cold Activated Ink

Thermocromic ink changes colours when your beer or beverage is cold enough and ready to drink. This interactive special effect clearly indicates that the product has reached the right temperature, improving the overall drinking experience.

INTERNAL PRINT

Lithographic Print

Printed crowns help build a strong marketing strategy and customer engagement. We use litho printing to create promotional crown corks with prints under the steel sheet. A number of promo options are available: specific messages, gifts or quotes etc.

INTERIOR SIDE

Internal Varnish

Internal varnish is applied to all printed sheets in order to allow liner adhesion to the crown shell. It also protects the internal side of the crown cap from corrosion and scratching during the bottling process. There are different types of internal varnish depending on the application.
