ROPP (Roll-On Pilfer-Proof) liquor caps are manufactured from aluminum and applied to bottles through a rolling process that tightly bonds the cap with the bottle’s neck thread and ring. Once the cap is opened, the tamper-evident ring breaks apart, providing both tamper-evidence and anti-counterfeiting protection.
ROPP caps are widely used in liquor, wine, pharmaceuticals, and beverages due to their excellent sealing, attractive appearance, and high safety performance.
Integrating a QR code into aluminum ROPP caps is not simply about attaching a label. Instead, the QR code becomes part of the cap itself-usually printed or laser-engraved on the top or inside of the cap-achieving a seamless blend of physical tamper-proofing with digital traceability.
Why do liquor aluminum caps carry QR codes?
Anti-counterfeiting
Each QR code is unique. Consumers can scan the code to verify authenticity. If duplicate scans or counterfeit codes are detected, the system automatically flags them, ensuring reliable protection.Traceability
QR codes can record production batches, raw material sources, logistics details, and distribution history. By scanning, consumers can trace the entire journey of the liquor-from production to sale-enhancing brand trust.Marketing Function
QR codes can link to the brand’s website, promotional campaigns, or loyalty programs. After scanning, consumers may participate in prize draws, collect points, or access exclusive events, strengthening brand engagement.Data Collection
Scanning activity provides brands with valuable consumer insights and market data, helping companies refine strategies and improve product positioning.
