No refill caps are a security system designed to ensure controlled dispensing of liquids and prevent illegal refilling of bottles, ensuring compliance with regulations and product protection. It is a plastic device integrated into the cap, applicable to press-on or screw caps.
This solution is widely used in the food industry, particularly for extra virgin olive oil, where it is essential to prevent tampering and preserve the authenticity of the product.
Pressure caps with no-refill systems offer an additional guarantee of safety, making pouring practical and regulated without compromising the user experience.
The no-refill cap is designed to allow the liquid to be poured and, at the same time, to prevent the bottle from being refilled once opened. It has an internal mechanism consisting of a one-way valve or a ball lock system, which allows the liquid to flow out in a controlled manner and prevents any attempt to refill the bottle.
The no-refill cap has a fundamental function: to prevent the bottle from being reused once opened, ensuring that the product contained is always original.
This safety system is used exclusively in the food industry, particularly for products such as extra virgin olive oil, where it is essential to prevent tampering or refilling with inferior products.
However, in addition to protecting the product, the no-refill cap also ensures controlled, waste-free pouring, improving the user experience.
As mentioned above, no-refill caps are mainly used in the food industry, where it is essential to guarantee the originality and integrity of the product. In addition to extra virgin olive oil, they are also recommended for fine and balsamic vinegars, condiments and flavoured oils.
Pressure-fit non-refillable caps always have a synthetic stem, chosen to ensure a perfect fit on the bottle neck and a secure seal.
The cap head, on the other hand, can be made of different materials, each with specific characteristics to suit different design and functionality requirements.
The plastic head offers high chemical resistance, is available in different colours and is certified for food contact.
Aluminium, on the other hand, provides an elegant metallic finish, guarantees high mechanical resistance and is easily customisable.
If you want to add a natural touch to your bottle, the wooden head is a refined decorative element, available only in selected woods and treated with specific finishes to increase its durability.
Finally, the synthetic cap ensures durability and UV resistance, offering a practical and versatile alternative.
Ipercap’s no-refill caps are designed to offer maximum safety and control, preventing illegal refilling and ensuring accurate dispensing. Their control system incorporates a one-way valve, which regulates the flow of liquid, prevents counterfeiting and ensures practical use in compliance with regulations.
At Ipercap, we offer several variants of anti-refill systems, including the mobile ball solution, the membrane mechanism and versions with specific devices, which can be customised according to the needs of the product and sector.
Of course, we also give you the option of customising the cap externally: you can decorate no-refill caps using pad printing, screen printing, laser engraving, embossing and bas-relief.
However, the applicability of certain techniques varies depending on the material. For example, laser engraving is not applicable on synthetic materials, while embossing and bas-relief are only available for aluminium caps.
Pad printing and screen printing, on the other hand, are versatile solutions suitable for any material. In any case, when you contact us, we will take all the time necessary to understand together how to create a tamper-evident cap that exactly meets your needs.
