Products

Three product lines, printed and converted under one roof.

ACM offset-prints and coats the metal it converts, then forms it into finished closures in the same plant. One specification and one audit trail run from incoming sheet to finished pallet.

Aluminium ROPP caps

Roll-on pilfer-proof closures for glass. The thread is formed onto the bottle neck by the capping head rather than pre-formed, which is what produces both the seal and the tamper-evident band. ACM supplies them in a full colour range with a PVC-free liner.

Product
Size	28 mm
Variants	5-score and no-score
Shell material	Aluminium
Liner	PVC-free
Decoration	Offset printing, in-house
Colours	Full range, to customer artwork
Application
Glass neck finish	MCA-1 and MCA-2
Contents	Carbonated soft drinks, water, juice
Reference standards	CE.T.I.E. and GME

5-score caps carry five blade cuts on the security ring, so the ring releases with the cap when it is opened. No-score caps have no blade cutting, so the security ring stays on the bottle neck. Both are produced to the same shell.

Full dimensional drawings with tolerances, capping head settings, liner profile, test data and pallet configuration are issued with every order and are available beforehand on request.

Crown caps

Twenty-one crimp crowns on tin-free steel, decorated in-house to the brand owner's artwork. A crown has to hold pressure for the life of the product and give way cleanly when the consumer opens it. Every crown ACM produces is inspected before dispatch, not sampled.

Product
Size	26 mm
Types	Pry-off and twist-off
Shell material	Tin-free steel
Corrugations	21
Liner	Food-contact grade, PVC and PVC-free available
Decoration	Offset printing, in-house
Colours	Full range, to customer artwork
Application
Glass neck finish	GPI and GME, pry-off and twist-off
Contents	Carbonated soft drinks, juice, water
Inspection	100% of output before dispatch
Reference standards	CE.T.I.E. and DIN

Pry-off crowns are removed with an opener. Twist-off crowns are removed by hand and need a matching neck finish on the bottle, so the neck standard should be confirmed before artwork is committed. ACM produces both from the same line.

ACM is qualified to produce crowns carrying the artwork of international beverage brands, which requires approval under each brand owner's supplier programme before a single cap can be shipped.

Full dimensional drawings with tolerances, capping specification, liner profile, test data and pallet configuration are issued with every order and are available beforehand on request.

Printed metal sheet

Offset printing and lacquering on aluminium, tinplate and tin-free steel. The same press that decorates ACM's own closures prints sheet for customers who convert it themselves, so a converter buys from a decorator that also runs a conversion line and knows what the sheet has to survive downstream.

Capability
Maximum sheet size	45 × 38 in
Printing	In-house multi-colour offset printing
Coating line	Separate, with two LTG ovens
Substrates	Aluminium, tinplate, tin-free steel
Ink and lacquer systems	Vinyl, acrylic, polyester, epoxy
Supply format	Printed sheet, or finished closures

Printed sheet is also supplied to customers who convert it themselves. Crowns on TFS, pilfer-proof on aluminium, twist-off on tinplate and lacquered tinplate for food containers are all produced from the same press.

Coating build-up, ink systems and sheet layout are specified against the intended conversion process and end use. Send the application and we will confirm the specification.
