Packaging Tip

Cap Codes

To assist in finding matching cap options for each of our containers, SKS created cap codes. These alphanumeric codes are unique to each of our cap, sprayer, dropper, and lotion pump sizes and are designed to correlate with the neck finishes of our bulk bottles and jars. Simply view the cap code listed for the desired bulk container, then search for the same code using our Cap Code Chart to determine which cap options fit.
