Features & End Use

Champagne and sparkling wine capsules (sometimes referred to as “sparkling hoods”) are secondary closures that  cover either a champagne/sparkling wine cork and wire hood;  or they can also be made to cover a crown cap that is used to close sparkling juice beverages.

The features and functionality of these capsules can vary depending on the application of the capsule and the type of equipment being used.  They can be applied with machine orientation and pleated or they can be applied by hand or machine and crimped.  Depending on the application, the capsule is either made of a polylaminate material (aluminum-polyethylene-aluminum) or a lighter-weight  single layer of aluminum. 

Most sparkling and champagne producers use a neck label that covers the bottom of the capsules (called a straight cut capsule).  There is also a “medallion cut” style that requires no neck label and is an attractive way to show off your brand.
