Crown experts also provide up-front support recommending specifications for the caps that will be capped by the machine, helping to reduce the risk of poor quality cap seals or breakage, reducing waste. They can also advise on the positioning and design of new production lines to optimize line efficiency.

All three systems are compatible with Crown's portfolio of closures, including the company's Orbit® closure, which is twice as easy to open as standard caps.
