Product Overview

Stoppers for bottles can be custom molded to match a particular neck opening. A plug-style body seats inside the neck, while a cap-style profile covers an outer feature. The intended contact surface should be chosen before dimensions are set, because the two arrangements rely on different parts of the bottle.

Check the neck profile, usable depth, and any rim that retains the closure. Bottle volume and general appearance do not identify these details. The selected silicone compound must suit the contents and cleaning routine wherever contact occurs, together with the expected storage and handling conditions.

Fit the closure onto a clean neck and inspect its seating without forcing it beyond the intended position. Leave the required access for removal, especially where the bottle shape limits finger clearance. A fitted rubber closure does not automatically establish suitability for pressure, heating, or every transport orientation. Inspect the seating surface before reuse and replace a torn or distorted part with the matching profile rather than accepting an approximate fit.

Material options: Custom silicone compound; formulation and geometry developed together.
Hardness selection: Silicone options: 20–80 Shore A. Leave the required access for removal, especially where the bottle shape limits finger clearance.
Custom geometry: Check the neck profile, usable depth, and any rim that retains the closure.
Fit evaluation: A plug-style body seats inside the neck, while a cap-style profile covers an outer feature.
Color & OEM: Custom colors; OEM identification positioned outside closure contact surfaces.

FIND THE RIGHT FIT

End Cap Size Catalog

Compare inside diameter A with the outside of the part being covered. Check inside depth C and overall dimensions B and D for available clearance. These RSE references show a round cap with one closed end.

RSE End Caps

43 closed-end cap sizes. A is the inside diameter and C is the usable internal depth; B and D describe the outside envelope.

Ordering this custom component

Can the shape be adjusted to my mating parts?

Yes. Show the receiving opening, contact surfaces and clearance limits. We can review the dimensions and retaining features around the intended fit.

Which details should be agreed before tooling?

Agree the critical dimensions, material, hardness, visible surfaces and sample requirements. Explain how the part is installed and which interfaces control its function.

Can a sample help define the replacement?

A sample can help explain the structure. Compare it with the assembly because wear, swelling or compression may have changed its original dimensions.

How is the quotation for this part determined?

The material, part geometry, tooling, quantity and finishing affect the quotation. Include the intended batch size and delivery destination when describing your requirements.
