Types of plastic bottle caps and their uses

Plastic bottle caps need to cover a wide range of criteria.  They must keep the contents of the container fresh, be easy to use, complement your branding and be fully recyclable.

If you’re in need of the perfect plastic bottle cap solution, take a look at the many options we have available.  As the UK’s leading plastic bottle cap supplier, Measom Freer’s caps are used in pretty much every industry you could think of.  Since we cater to such a wide range of requirements, you’ll find an ample range of plastic bottle caps to choose from right here on our website.

In the meantime, let’s take a look at a few of our most popular plastic bottle caps and their uses.

Plastic bottle screw caps

Our range of plastic bottle screw caps are the ideal solution for sealing a huge range of bottles.  Available in a range of sizes and shapes, you can choose from recycled plastic caps, regular screw caps or fine ribbed caps.  

Made from 100% recycled polypropylene from used vehicle batteries our recycled screw caps are perfect for a range of industrial and household uses, from hobby & craft use to bleach. 

Both smooth and ribbed options are available, and we even provide a metallising service.  However, if you need to package food, you should note that this recycled plastic is not food approved. 

If you’re in the food business, you’d be better off with our standard screw caps, which are fully recyclable and are also approved for food packaging use.

The ribbed versions of the standard screw caps offer additional grip for bottles that contain liquids or oils.

All of our screw caps can be manufactured any colour, matched to your requirements, to order.

Plastic bottle plugs

Plastic bottle plugs insert into the neck of the bottle. These plugs reduce the dispensing hole size or alter the method of delivery. Especially useful for liquids that require precise application, or just a few drops at a time, this hole reduction makes dispensing the product much more accurate.

Aside from liquids and oils uses of plastic bottle plugs include liquid soaps, shampoos, cleaning products, industrial applications, test kits and forensic solutions to name just a few.

Measom Freer can create custom bottle plug in any size, shape or colour to suit your needs.

Plastic dropper caps

We have two types of dropper cap available at Measom Freer. These are snap on and screw on dropper caps.  The sanp on dropper cap must be used with its corresponding bottle range which you can see by clicking on the links. Screw on Dropper Caps can be used with any of our bottles with a 15mm R4 Neck.

Plastic dropper caps are the way to go when you need to dispense a very small amount of a liquid product.  Classic examples of uses for plastic dropper caps are inks, medicines, testing kits and chemicals. 

Measom Freer carry white and black dropper caps in stock and can manufacture any colour and size you need. You can even choose fully recycled material if you so wish.

Plastic disc caps

Disc caps have a push up hinge, and when pressed, reveal a small hole, perfect for dispensing thicker liquids. Typical uses of disc caps include creams, gels and lotions. We stock white plastic disc caps in a range of sizes.


Plastic bottle flip caps

Plastic flip caps are perfect for a range of liquids, from make up remover to hand sanitiser.  They feature an integral hinged lid that securely seals off the hole in the cap.

Here at Measom Freer, we stock plastic flip caps in seven different neck sizes, to fit a wide range of plastic bottles.

They are both reusable and recyclable making them the ideal solution for those who require regular stock refills. Each plastic flip bottle cap is manufactured using 100% recyclable white polypropylene.
