Neck Measurements

Proper dimensions and finish = safe product

Properly sealed bottles keep product fresh and free from contaminates. Confirming proper dimensions of the neck is the safest way to ensure a proper seal. For 95% of bottling applications, checking the Height (H), the thread width (T) and the exterior width of the neck opening (E) is enough to ensure proper seal. Adding additional cameras and/or specialized lenses will allow for more and precise measurements.

  • Inspect for T, E and H dimensions
  • ID, OD, ovality and integrity of neck opening
  • Verify the integrity of the sealing surface
  • Other specialized inspections such as thread start, thread spacing, and throat width optional
