ROPP Capping Machines
Roll-on pilfer-proof aluminium capping is the standard closure for Australian spirits. ROPP capping forms the thread on the cap during application — producing the tamper-evident aluminium closure required for off-premise retail and export.
- Benchtop ROPP cappers for small-batch and artisan distilleries
- Automatic inline ROPP for higher-volume production
- Compatible with standard ROPP aluminium shell caps
- Also available: screw cappers and specialty closure machines

Premium label presentation is essential in the spirits market — bottle presentation drives purchase decisions at retail. We supply:
- Wrap-around labellers — the standard for round spirit bottles
- Front & back labellers — for square and rectangular spirit bottle formats
- Semi-automatic benchtop — accurate and consistent for small-batch runs
- Automatic inline — for high-volume labelling at speed

- Foil inner seal beneath the aluminium ROPP cap
- Provides dual-layer tamper evidence for premium and export products
- Standalone benchtop or integrated inline
- Also available: heat sealing for gift pack and specialty formats

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you supply ROPP capping machines for spirit bottles?
Yes. ROPP (roll-on pilfer-proof) aluminium capping is the standard closure for Australian spirits sold at retail and for export. We supply both benchtop ROPP cappers for small-batch distilleries and automatic inline ROPP cappers for higher production volumes. Contact us to confirm availability and delivery timing.
Which filling machine is right for spirits production?
Spirits are thin, water-like liquids and typically suit flow or peristaltic filling machines, which handle thin liquids accurately and with minimal product agitation. For cream liqueurs and thicker spirit products, piston fillers are more appropriate. Tell us your product range when you enquire and we will recommend the right machine.
Can I hire equipment for a single limited-edition batch?
Yes — short-term hire is a common arrangement for craft distilleries. Many producers hire filling and capping equipment for a limited-edition or seasonal release, then return it when the batch is complete. Delivery, setup, and operator training are included with every hire.
Can you supply a complete distillery bottling line?
Yes. We can supply and commission a complete bottling line — filling, ROPP capping, labelling, sealing, and coding — configured to work together at your distillery. Our team will assess your space, output requirements, and bottle formats and recommend the right combination. Contact us to discuss your setup.
How quickly can you deliver to our distillery?
For standard hire equipment, we can typically deliver within one to two business days to Sydney metro locations, and two to three days for Melbourne and surrounding regions. For regional distilleries, delivery timelines are confirmed case by case. Call us on 02 9987 1871 to confirm.

Yes. We deliver packaging equipment to distilleries across all Australian states and territories, including regional locations. Our head office and warehouse is in Hornsby, NSW and we have a service agent in Braeside, VIC. Contact us to confirm lead times for your specific location.
