SKS Bottle & Packaging – Cap and Neck Finishes

Cap and Neck Finishes

A container’s neck finish holds the cap, stopper, or closure with protruding threads. A container and its corresponding cap must have matching finishes. For example, a 24/400 bottle will only accept a 24/400 closure.

Screw thread or continuous thread closure sizes are expressed with two numbers separated by a hyphen or slash. The first number refers to the millimeter diameter measured across the inside of the cap’s opening or the outside of the bottle’s threads. The second number refers to the thread style, “GPI” or “SPI” finish. The Glass Packaging Institute (GPI) and Society of the Plastics Industry (SPI) are responsible for establishing uniform standards for glass and plastic container neck finishes. The closure industry does not necessarily adhere to the same standards, so it is often best practice to purchase containers and caps from the same manufacturer when possible.

For information about proper torque when applying closures to containers, visit our Torque Guide page.

Standard Neck Finishes

“T” Dimension

Outside diameter of the thread. The tolerance range of the “T” dimension will determine the mate between bottle and closure.

“E” Dimension

Outside diameter of the neck. The difference between the “E” and “T” dimensions divided by two determines the thread depth.

“I” Dimension

Inner diameter of bottle neck. Specifications require a minimum “I” to allow sufficient clearance for filling tubes. Linerless closures w/ plug or land seal & dispensing plugs/fitments require controlled “I” dimension for proper fit.

“S” Dimension

Measured from the top of the finish to the top edge of the first thread. The “S” dimension is the key factor that determines orientation of the closure to bottle and the amount of thread engagement between the bottle and cap.

“H” Dimension

The height of the neck finish. Measured from the top of the neck to the point where the diameter “T”, extended down, intersects the shoulder.

Common GPI / SPI Neck Finishes

Standard Neck Finishes

  • 400
  • 410
  • 415
  • 425
  • 430
  • 2030
  • 2035
  • 400: 1 thread turn
  • 410: 1.5 thread turns
  • 415: 2 thread turns, narrow threads
  • 425: Buttress Finish – thick threads & top bead (better seal, more application torque)
  • 2030: Lug Finish – Non-continuous threads
  • 2035: Lug Finish – Non-continuous threads, tall “H” dimension

How to Measure a Neck Finish

To find a cap’s diameter, measure from one side of the inner wall to the opposite side. Calculate a bottle’s neck finish by measuring the diameter of the outermost threads. The resulting millimeter measurement will be the “T” dimension.

How to Measure a Neck Finish

Then, see how many times the threads pass one another to determine the finish.
(ex. 24 mm “T” dimension with 1.5 thread turns = 24/410 neck finish)

Best solution for Office365 with Thunderbird in 2020 : Thunderbird

Best solution for Office365 with Thunderbird in 2020
byu/ntropia64 inThunderbird

I have a premium Outlook.com account (part of Office 365 subscription). Normally I use it with Outlook 365 (desktop program) and have for many, many years. Through all my testing and research I have found that basic Thunderbird cannot work with Outlook.com/Exchange without addons. At the very minimum I require:

  • Lighting calendar addon (technically it appears to be part of ‘basic’ Thunderbird these days)

  • TB Sync (this will allow me to configure and setup my Microsoft Account in Thunderbird)

  • Provider for Exchange Sync (which required TB Sync and allows me to sync my Outlook calendars, tasks and contacts)

Once those addons are installed, for me, it actually works quite well. And I can use Thunderbird on Linux or Windows without any problem. All of those addons are free and updated frequently. They also allow me to use other providers if I decided to change to Google or some other lesser known free or paid mail/calendar/tasks/contacts options.
