Description
The Aluminum Cap GPI 38/400 is a pharma-grade aluminum closure for glass pill and supplement bottles, offering a lightweight yet secure alternative to plastic caps. It follows the GPI 38-400 thread standard and fits 30ml-150ml packer and pill glass bottles, so it provides a reliable, leak-proof seal.
Material & Construction
Pharma/food-grade aluminum construction gives this cap its light weight, excellent corrosion resistance, and durability. In addition, aluminum is 100% recyclable, and manufacturers can reuse it repeatedly without any loss of physical or molecular properties. As a result, this closure remains fully sustainable, with zero environmental footprint. It also resists high temperatures, does not age over time, and is not flammable. Unlike plastic closures, aluminum keeps its shape and seal quality even after repeated opening and closing.

- Capping application: Apply with standard capping machinery, using consistent torque for a secure, tamper-evident seal without over-tightening.
