Heat Shrink Capsule for red wine is a packaging material used to seal wine bottles. It is usually made of heat shrinkable plastics such as PVC, PET or PE. It shrinks and fits the bottle mouth and bottle cap by heating, which plays a role of sealing, anti-counterfeiting and decoration. Its main features are as follows:
1. Sealing and protection
- After shrinking, it tightly wraps the bottle mouth to reduce oxygen entry and extend the shelf life of red wine.
- Prevent dust, moisture or foreign matter from contaminating the bottle mouth and improve hygiene and safety.
2. Anti-counterfeiting function
- Can print brand logo, QR code, anti-counterfeiting mark, etc., one-time shrink design (cannot be restored after destruction) to prevent counterfeiting.
- Some high-end wines will use holographic anti-counterfeiting or special texture technology.
3. Decoration and brand display
- Customizable color, pattern, metal texture (such as hot stamping/silver) to enhance product grade.
- Cover cork or screw cap to make the appearance more unified and beautiful.
4. Environmental protection of materials
- Traditional PVC materials are gradually replaced by more environmentally friendly PET or PE (recyclable and pollution-free).
- Some brands use biodegradable materials to meet the environmental protection trend.
5. Applicability and ease of use
- Compatible with a variety of bottle types (Bordeaux bottles, Burgundy bottles, etc.) and sealing methods (corks, metal caps, etc.).
- Rapid shrinkage after heating (hot air or steam), high production efficiency.
6. Consumer experience
- Easy-tear design (with pull strips or cuts) for easy bottle opening.
- Some heat shrink covers contain tin foil in the inner layer to enhance the sealing while retaining the traditional bottle opening ritual.
