CountySeat Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Does anyone have recommendations for T-tops for the Anchor Hocking Stockholm bottle? We use this bottle for some of our products and are having a hard time finding a t-top that fits well. We are having issues with the T-tops we currently use and are trying to find alternative tops from the same supplier that may fit better. We get a nice tight fit on the intial seal but after the initial seal is broken, about half the bottle tops will not stay down once pushed down. They slide back up about a 1/4 inch or so. We are open to natural or synthetic for the cork and open to wood or plastic for the cap. This is essentially the size we need: Cork Diameter 22.5 MM Cap Diameter 34MM I suspect we'll need to just do a lot of trial and error but figured we would see if anyone is using the same bottle. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brothers Vilgalys Spirits Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 We've used corks from Tapi and Paulson Supply, both of them fit pretty well. Haven't noticed any 'slippage' of corks like you're describing. Paulson Supply is, for the sort we're using, a better price though they have a longer lead time to ship.

CountySeat Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 If you don't mind me asking, what specific caps from each are you using from each supplier on the Stockholm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brothers Vilgalys Spirits Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 The Paulson closures are described on our last invoice as "T-Top 22.5mm Beige Shank w/Dark Brown 36mm x 10mm Cap" Tapi was "Wood 33/34x14 stain and tumble varnish top with a 23mm Sugero Replica synthetic shank" although we've not ordered from them for a while.

CountySeat Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Thanks this is helpful. We have obtained a few other samples and are testing them to see what works best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluestar Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Tapi artificial should work, but that size sounds a touch large. Also check if the bottle is in spec for verticality of internal sidewalls of the neck. If it is not perfectly straight, you could get the problem you describe.
