Where Should a Tear Tab Sit on a Shrink Cap? | Jelinek Cork Canada

If my shrink cap has a horizontal tear tab, where should the tear tab sit?

If your shrink cap has a horizontal tear tab, the portion of the capsule that remains on the bottle should generally sit 1.0mm below the top of the bottle opening. The only functional requirement is that the remaining portion of the capsule is below the top of the bottle; this ensures that the remaining sleeve will not interfere with opening and closing the bottle. To properly calculate the horizontal tear tab location, please provide us with your stopper cap height. 

The exact position of the remaining capsule is left to individual artistic discretion.
