Pen Cap: FAQ

How do I ensure the cap fits my specific pen model?

Measure the outer diameter of your pen's barrel using a caliper. Most AliExpress listings provide measurements in millimeters; always choose a cap with a matching or slightly flexible inner diameter.

Which material offers the best protection for expensive nibs?

Silicone caps provide excellent shock absorption, while metal caps offer superior structural protection. Check the product description for 'food-grade silicone' or 'stainless steel' to ensure high-grade material quality.

How can I tell if a pen cap will last without cracking?

Look for reinforced edges and material thickness specifications in the item details. High-rated reviews often mention the 'click' or 'friction fit' quality, which indicates a precise and durable mold.

Are small pen caps at risk of being lost during international shipping?

Choose sellers that offer 'AliExpress Standard Shipping' for better tracking of small items. Many reputable stores bundle multiple caps in protective bubble mailers to prevent crushing or loss during transit.

Recommendations for buyers

✓
Material Density
Prioritize high-density polypropylene or aluminum for long-term durability and resistance to chemical ink stains.
✓
Seal Mechanism
Look for 'inner-cap' designs or O-ring seals that create an airtight vacuum to prevent fountain pen nibs from drying out.
✓
Safety Standards
Ensure the cap includes a safety ventilation hole (ISO 11540 standard) to prevent choking hazards, especially for school supplies.
✓
Clip Tension
Check for spring-loaded metal clips if you intend to carry the pen in a pocket, as these offer better longevity than plastic-molded clips.
