Metal Twist-off Lids
Twist-off closures are screw lids with a short thread (single turn), widely used on jars and bottles where reliable sealing and ease of use are important. Suitable for pasteurisation, sterilisation and vacuum sealing.
Twist-off closures are available in a range of standard diameters:
Diameter: Ø 38 mm to Ø 100 mm
These dimensions are compatible with commonly used jar and bottle sizes in the food and beverage industry. Different designs and inserts are available for each diameter.
Twist-off closures are available in metal variants, tailored to the application and process conditions:
TIN (tinned steel)
Widely used in the food industry. Suitable for vacuum sealing and heat treatments such as pasteurisation and sterilisation. Offers good corrosion protection and a reliable seal when used with the correct insert.
TFS (Tin-Free Steel)
Steel with an alternative coating that does not contain tin. Suitable for applications where a different surface treatment is required, whilst maintaining strength and dimensional stability. Widely used for coated or painted twist-off closures.
We advise on the correct choice of material based on product content, process (pasteurisation or sterilisation), shelf life and desired appearance.
