Stocked in Mississauga and sold by the case. One piece snap on caps for 3 and 5 gallon bottles, 660 to a case at $85.00, which works out to 12.9 cents a cap. If you run a refill station, a bottling line or a cooler fleet, this is the quantity you actually need.
What 660 caps cost, four ways
Most 55 mm caps sold online come in tens, twenties and fifties. That is fine if you have lost the cap off your cooler bottle. It is an expensive way to run a business.
| How you buy 660 caps | You pay | Per cap |
|---|---|---|
| 660 singles at $0.99 | $653.40 | 99.0 cents |
| 33 packs of 20 at $10.99 | $362.67 | 54.9 cents |
| 14 packs of 50 at $19.95, which is 700 caps | $279.30 | 39.9 cents |
| One case of 660 at $85.00 | $85.00 | 12.9 cents |
Same 660 caps, and $277.67 between the case and the twenty packs. The case is not a slightly better deal, it is a different order of magnitude. It is the price we have always given the trade. We had simply never put it on a page.
All prices are before HST. If you only need a handful, the pack of 20 and the pack of 50 are still there and they are not going anywhere.

Dimensionally consistent case to case, so your capper, your filler and your customers’ dispensers behave the way they did last month.
If you are working out how many cases a month you actually need, we set the burn rates out at 20, 40, 100 and 250 bottles a day in why refill operations buy caps by the case.
Caps ship anywhere in Canada
Worth saying plainly, because it is not true of everything we sell.
Empty bottles are mostly air. Freight on a pallet of them can approach half the value of the goods, which is why we sell blank 18 L bottles and blank 11 L bottles into Ontario and the near provinces, and tell people further away the honest truth.
Caps are different. A case is small, dense and valuable, so freight is a minor line on the invoice rather than the deciding one. If you are in Winnipeg, Halifax or Kamloops and you have been buying 55 mm caps from a US supplier or an overseas marketplace, we are worth a quote.
We import these caps ourselves, and that is the point of buying them from us. The container, the customs clearance and the currency exposure are already dealt with, so you buy a case in Canadian dollars from a warehouse in Mississauga instead of committing to a shipping container and an eight week wait. You are not avoiding an import, you are avoiding doing the import.
Buying regularly
Tell us roughly how many cases a month you go through and we will hold stock against it, so a reorder is a phone call rather than a lead time. Standing orders can be adjusted or stopped at any point. There is no contract and no cancellation fee.
Pallet quantities are quoted on request. If you are also buying empty bottles by the pallet, ask for both on the same quote.
Ask for case or pallet pricing, or call 905 670 7400, Monday to Friday, 8:00 to 15:30.
Wholesale is prepaid. Payment clears before we ship, on every order and every account.
Common questions
How many caps are in a case?
660. That is the standard trade case and the quantity most refill operations reorder.
What does a case cost?
$85.00 before HST, which is 12.9 cents a cap. Pallet quantities are quoted on request.
Which colours can I get?
Blue and green are in stock now. Clear is on backorder. Ask us and we will tell you when it is back.
Will these fit my bottles?
If your bottles have a 55 mm neck, which is the standard for 3 and 5 gallon, yes. They fit both 11 L and 18 L bottles and work with mainstream dispensers and capping equipment.
Do you ship outside Ontario?
Yes. Caps ship anywhere in Canada at sensible freight, which is not something we can honestly say about empty bottles.
Can I mix colours in one order?
Yes, across blue and green.
Where are these caps made?
We do not mould them. They are imported and we hold stock in Mississauga so you can buy by the case rather than by the container. We do blow mould our own 3 and 5 gallon bottles here, and we are careful not to blur the two.
Do you sell smaller quantities?
Yes. Single caps at $0.99, a pack of 20 at $10.99 and a pack of 50 at $19.95.
Do I have to pay before you ship?
Yes. Wholesale is prepaid, every order and every account. There are no credit terms and no invoicing.
