Finding the Perfect BAR TOP CAP for Your Glass Bottle at De Varo Packaging

Discover the Ideal Bar Top Cap for Your Needs! Selecting the right-sized bar top cap is a crucial consideration for safeguarding your product, preserving freshness, and enhancing your overall packaging presentation.


So, what Constitutes a Bar Top Closure?


Bar top closures, also known as cork stoppers, incorporate a cork shank with a broader cap designed to seal glass bottles intended for liquors, spirits, fortified wines, as well as certain vinegars and oils. The cork shank fits snugly into the glass bottle, creating a proper seal, while the cap rests on top of the bottle neck for easy removal. Engineered for repeated use, these stoppers maintain product freshness and shield bottle contents from contamination. Consequently, choosing the right fit for your bar top cap is a pivotal factor in packaging your unique spirit or condiment. Indeed, the appropriate closure plays a vital role in the overall packaging aesthetic.


To ensure a proper fit for your bar top cork stopper, it is crucial to have a shank (or cork) that is wide enough to establish a tight seal within the bottle.

Components of a Bar Top Closure A bar top closure, or cork stopper, comprises a cap and a shank. The cap can be crafted from plastic, aluminum, wood, or the same material as the shank. The shank can be natural or synthetic cork. The two dimensions following the name of this closure represent the CAP diameter x SHANK diameter (in mm). Locating the shank diameter measurement is essential to finding a compatible bar top closure. As a general guideline, you should aim for a shank (cork) that is 1 mm larger in diameter than the bottle neck width to ensure a snug fit.

For instance, consider our 750 ml Clear Glass Bottle with a 21.5mm bottle opening. This information is available on the bottle's product page at De Varo Packaging. We offer a diverse range of bar top bottles.



The cap diameter of the bar top closure should match the diameter of the bottle top. Of course, the most effective way to determine a proper fit is to order a sample and test it yourself. You can request samples of many of our caps, featuring various styles that provide the ideal shelf appeal for your brand. Additionally, our design team can assist with customized decorating and labeling!
