Plastic container and cap problem
Plastic container and cap problem
(OP)
hello, i`m having a problem with a plastic container we manufacture and its cap. the container (300 mL)is PP made by blowmolding. the problem consist in a overlap when I apply some force to the cap. i checked the diameters of the container screw and are the same of another container with diferent form, capacity(600 mL) and dimensions which use the same cap.

Um, trying to envision this, but as Mike says, a drawing or sketch or photo would probably help a lot. If this "overlap" is occuring when you tighten down the cap, and the threads bind on the bottle...is there supposed to be a gasket under the cap, and if there is one, is it the right thickness?
