🔩 Spray Collar / Ring Issues

Why is my spray collar not fitting onto the bottle?

💨 Spray Function Issues

Why is my spray not working after crimping?

  • Ensure the spray nozzle is centered before crimping.
  • Avoid over-crimping, which can jam the spray valve.
  • Pump the spray a few times to remove airlock.
  • Check if the dip tube is bent or touching the bottle wall.

Why is my spray leaking after crimping?

  • Crimping pressure may be too low (loose seal) or too high (damaging the seal).
  • Check for bottle neck cracks or spray pump defects.

Why does my spray squirt liquid instead of producing a fine mist?

  • The spray valve may be damaged due to excessive crimping pressure.
  • The dip tube could be too short or touching the bottle wall.

🧴 Bottle Issues

Why is my bottle leaking from the neck?

  • The crimping pressure might be too weak, causing an improper seal.
  • Check for bottle neck cracks or incorrectly fitted spray pumps.

Why is my bottle breaking while crimping?

  • Reduce crimping pressure if the force is too high.
  • Support the bottle base properly to distribute pressure evenly.

🛠️ Crimping Tool Issues

Why is my crimping tool not working properly?

  • Check for debris or loose parts blocking the tool.
  • Ensure proper pressure settings for consistent crimping.

Why is my crimping tool breaking or damaging spray pumps?

  • Reduce crimping force to avoid damaging the spray valve.
  • Align the tool correctly to apply even force.

How often should I maintain my crimping tool?

  • Lubricate moving parts and inspect for wear.

❓ Miscellaneous Issues

Why does my perfume evaporate over time?

  • Ensure a properly crimped seal to prevent slow leaks.
  • Store bottles in a cool, dark place to prevent alcohol evaporation.

How do I test if my crimping is successful?

  • Shake the bottle: No leaks = good crimp.
  • Press the spray nozzle: If it doesn’t spray, check alignment and pressure.

✔️ Final Tips for Successful Crimping

  • Match components correctly—bottles, sprays, and collars must be compatible.
  • Test before mass production—crimp a few bottles and check for leaks.
  • Adjust pressure—too loose = leaks, too tight = spray damage.
  • Maintain crimping tools—clean and adjust them regularly.
