Why Are Metal Lug Caps Commonly Chosen for Sauces and Condiments?

Sauces and condiments are essential elements of daily diets. From soy sauce and ketchup to chili sauce and jams, these products face the challenge of extending shelf life while maintaining original flavor.

Since such products are typically packaged in glass bottles, the requirements for cap sealing performance, heat resistance, and food safety are extremely high. As a result, metal lug caps have become the industry’s preferred choice.

The Golden Combination: Glass Bottles + Metal Lug Caps

• High-Temperature Sterilization Resistance Sauces and condiments often undergo retort sterilization or pasteurization to ensure hygiene and extend shelf life. Metal lug caps can withstand 121°C for 30 minutes. When combined with glass bottles, they effectively prevent microbial growth.
• Excellent Sealing Paired with PVC liners, they form a reliable seal at the bottle mouth, blocking air and moisture, preventing oxidation, and keeping products fresh.
• Complete Flavor Preservation Glass bottles are inert and do not react with the contents. Combined with metal lug caps, they preserve the quality of flavor-sensitive products such as jams, chili sauces, and ketchup to the greatest extent.

Common Applications:

• Soy sauce and vinegar: require long-term preservation of flavor and quality
• Ketchup and jams: retain sweet-and-sour taste even after high-temperature sterilization
• Chili sauces and condiments: need to prevent oil oxidation and flavor loss
