sizing:
Straight Sided Containers:
Measure the widest point over which the seal must pass, then add 2mm. For example, if the diameter of the cap is 50mm you should choose a seal of 52mm diameter. Please ensure that you have measured the diameter (across the cap or neck) and not the circumference (round the cap or neck).
Choose a length to suit the purpose but remember the 10% shrinkage which takes place in this direction when the seal is fully dry.
Conical Containers and More Complex Shapes:
In these cases it is important that the difference between the smallest diameter and the largest diameter to be covered by the seal should not exceed 25%.
