Introduction to the classification of corks

A cork is a stopper made of cork material, often used to seal the mouth of a bottle, through the natural grain of the cork and air holes, to draw the air out of the container, thus ensuring that the liquid and solid retain their freshness in the sealed container. Based on factors such as material, process and shape, corks can be divided into the following categories:

Panel corks: Panel corks are made of several pieces of cork that are joined together into a flat shape and are commonly used on bottle tops for high-end cosmetics, spirits, tea sets, and other items. Because its design and appearance have a certain sense of fashion and uniqueness, it is often used to display high quality and luxury goods.

Lathe corks: Lathe corks are cut from a single cork block. Its appearance is uniform both in shape and future bottle mouth size. Lathe corks are commonly used in restaurants, bars and other food and dining establishments to ensure a tight seal on the bottle and prevent food contamination and other food safety issues.

Pellet cork: Pellet cork is made of cork particles mixed with gum to form an airtight plug. The empty holes in these particles allow air and oxygen to enter, thus contributing to the physiological fermentation of the liquid in the bottle. Pellet corks are usually used to seal bottled wine, champagne, brandy and other high-end alcohol.

Corks with cork in them: Corks with cork in them combine cork pellets and fixed stoppers and can usually only be opened/closed once or twice. Corks are commonly used in restaurants, bars and other places where drinks need to be mixed, making mixing easier and faster to provide high-quality service.

In different applications, different types of corks are used to ensure that different needs and configuration requirements are met during use.
