Custom Crown Caps

[oshodisa]

Hi All,

Just wondered if anyone had any experience/tips for getting ahold of custom printed crown caps in the UK.

I've seen a few different US sites, but shipping (and customs tax etc) would kill the deal most likely.

Has anyone UK side done any, if so who did you go with and how much did it cost (if you don't mind me asking?)

I know I'd have to order in bulk, but who doesn't get through crown caps doing this hobby!

TIA
Andy

How much bulk are you wanting to go into?... I gues not 100,000- http://www.erben.co.uk/closures/crown-caps.aspx
(though it may be worth contacting them to see if they do smaller runs)
I found these folk as well- http://www.rankincork.co.uk/?page_id=146 but again, they don't exactly seem to be aimed at the homebrew market.

I'm not sure I have seen a UK based one, but have you considered using stickers if the price of the US is putting you off?- http://www.labels-direct.co.uk/117-up-round-labels
(i'm sure with a bit of a hunt you could find some transparent sticker paper)

and I guess another option, if not fully custom, is to just find a more unusual design one rather than plain color
