Aluminum Cap GPI 45 / 400 | for Glass Pill Bottles

Pharma-grade aluminum cap GPI 45/400 for glass pill bottles (150ml-300ml) – lightweight, 100% recyclable, and corrosion-resistant. Made in the EU by AlumCap Ltd.

Description

The Aluminum Cap GPI 45/400 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 45-400 thread standard and fits 150ml-300ml 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.

  • Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity, in the original packaging until use.
  • Capping application: Apply with standard capping machinery, using consistent torque for a secure, tamper-evident seal without over-tightening.
  • Handling: Use clean, dry equipment — aluminum’s soft surface can scratch or dent if mishandled.
  • Shelf life: No expiration date under proper storage; the cap is UV-stable and resistant to aging, corrosion, and high temperatures.
