You may spend hours tracking down your perfect packaging solution, but no comprehensive system is complete without the finishing touches. Finding the right closure means considering your packaging specifications and your usability — and with Pipeline Packaging, the leading distributer in bulk caps and closures, striking that balance has never been easier.
We specialize in creating the perfect comprehensive packaging solutions for our customers. Powered by our distributor advantage, Pipeline leverages more than 300 global suppliers to provide you limitless options when it comes to determining your packaging and all of its finishing components and closures.
If you can dream it, we can deliver it
When it comes to primary packaging, we offer everything from a 1-oz. clear plastic jar to a 275-gallon IBC tote, and our inventory of bulk caps and closures is no different. Let’s break down some of our component categories.
Caps and lids play a critical role in perfecting your packaging system. Deciding on the right closure is a culmination of many factors, including brand styling, how a product dispenses, and added protection against spills and leaks. The experts at Pipeline Packaging can help you discover the right bulk caps and closures, including plastic threaded caps, metal lug closures, snap caps, and child-resistant options.
For more complex situations, a trigger sprayer or fine-mist sprayer may be better suited to your product’s end use. Sprayers are a convenient option for cleaning, agricultural, automotive products, and more. This style is user friendly while keeping harmful and toxic chemicals contained.
Dispensing pumps are a common bulk caps and closures category for numerous industries, from food and beverage to health and beauty. Pipeline presents a plethora of foam caps, siphon pumps, and dispensing pumps paired with dip tubes.
Having the breadth of choice in every aspect of your packaging — from the primary vessel to finishing components like lids, closures, pumps, and sprayers —gives you the flexibility to build a system fit to your exact needs.
Why leave a system unfinished?
After working with numerous customers as a Pipeline Packaging sales representative, Brian Crevar shared his expertise when it comes to bulk caps and closures.
“Purchasing packaging without the proper closure leaves it incomplete,” said Crevar. “A lot of customers try to cut costs by buying their main packaging and their closures from different vendors. On the other hand, we offer customers the best value overall as their one-stop shop for the complete packaging solution, down to the finest details like closures.”
Whether its primary packaging or bulk caps and closures, Pipeline continually demonstrates its commitment to customers’ needs, even if it means adjusting our own inventory.
When one customer was looking to try a different closure, Crevar employed our nationwide network of warehouses to source the component from North Carolina. When the customer decided on a new option, Crevar arranged for a regular shipment of these bulks caps and closures to arrive at Pipeline’s Cleveland warehouse to cut freight costs and lead times for the customer.
“We combine our commitment with our full-service packaging abilities so customers can build the systems they need with quality to match, even if it means adding new components to our catalog,” said Crevar.
Brewing up solutions
Recently, Crevar handled a packaging redesign with a brewery. Even after deciding on the small details like bulk caps and closures, he asked if there was anything missing. When the customer still needed plastic carriers, a component Pipeline didn’t sell at the time, Crevar sourced it from a supplier, guaranteeing the brewery its complete packaging solution. This product is now in Pipeline’s everyday inventory.
“When it comes to customer satisfaction, it’s really about asking the right questions and digging into their needs,” said Crevar. “If customers say they need three specific components, we don’t want to have only one or two of those, but all three. Having access to Pipeline’s inventory and value-added services means we can uphold that level of customer service.”
Discovering the right finishing touches
Asking the right questions lies at the center of discerning the right finishing components. Your closures, and other essentials like liners, all play a vital role in containing your product, communicating your brand, and maintaining a safe environment. That’s why we take the time to properly flesh out every detail before you ever place your order.
Before small details like bulk caps and closures, we start with you and your product. What are you planning to ship? What size and quantity will you need? Would plastic or metal material provide the best overall quality and value? Is your product considered hazardous, requiring special attention to UN regulations? As we answer these questions, we start to funnel down to the smaller details like neck finishes and colorants.
Most importantly, we examine different bulk caps and closures. Do you need an easy-access closure like a snap cap, or something child-resistant paired with a heat seal? You may want to consider something like a chemical-resistant trigger sprayer or a chrome-plated drum pump.
Whatever the case, the experts at Pipeline Packaging use their deep industry insight to guide you through the process of selecting the right packaging for you, even providing any diagrams or samples of bulk caps and closures you may need throughout the process.
