- Products where clear tamper evidence is required
- Lines with filling and capping upstream
- Food container material and heat sensitivity
- Closure type and cap/lid profile
- Band height and tear feature

Food bottle bands questions
Can tamper bands be added after filling and capping?
Yes. Tamper-evident sleeve bands are commonly applied after capping and before final packing.
What makes a food sleeve application reliable?
Correct sleeve size, clean container handling, repeatable cap position and a tunnel profile matched to the pack.
Can the same line sleeve drinks and food jars?
Possibly, but bottle and jar geometry may require different guides, change parts and tunnel settings.
