Capsules en plomb plaqué étain. Elles se présentent sous forme d'un cylindre légèrement conique [...] La partie interne en contact avec le bouchon ainsi que la partie extérieure sont en étain pur, ce qui donne à cette cape de surbouchage une richesse et une qualité certaines. Elle est surtout utilisée pour l'habillage des grands vins, alcools, etc. Souvent pourvue de systèmes spéciaux de déchirage ou de décapsulage, elle se fait en toutes dimensions et teintes, et permet des impressions en relief, particulièrement riches. 3, record 1, French, - capsule%20de%20surbouchage%20en%20plomb%2D%C3%A9tain
