Description
Description
RL0000 tapered corks are very small natural cork stoppers made from 100% sustainably harvested cork, designed to seal tiny openings with a secure, reliable fit. The tapered profile — wider at the top, narrowing toward the base — allows a single stopper to accommodate a range of opening sizes, making them exceptionally versatile across applications. Natural cork compresses slightly on insertion, creating a snug seal without adhesives or tools, and its inherent flexibility means it conforms to minor variations in the opening. Whether referred to as end plugs, masking plugs, or hole fillers, these small-format stoppers deliver the same dependable performance across every use. Each RL0000 measures 3/16in (4.8mm) at the top diameter, 3/32in (2.4mm) at the bottom diameter, and 1/2in (12.7mm) in length. Perfect for sealing test tubes, glass vials, ceramic jars, small containers, laboratory vessels, construction holes, craft projects, science applications, and any industrial or commercial use requiring a small, clean, natural plug.
Why Choose RL0000 Tapered Cork Stoppers?
- 100% natural cork construction provides a compressible, self-sealing fit without adhesives or hardware
- Tapered design fits a range of opening sizes — one stopper works where rigid plugs would require an exact match
- Naturally sustainable and biodegradable, making them the environmentally responsible choice over synthetic rubber or plastic plugs
- Suitable for food-contact, laboratory, and industrial environments where a clean, inert seal is required
- Available in bags of 100 for small-scale or craft use, or cartons of 5,000 for commercial and industrial volume
- Consistent sizing across the RL range makes it easy to step up or down to adjacent sizes as needed
RL0000 tapered corks outperform synthetic rubber and plastic plugs by combining natural compressibility with sustainable sourcing for a seal that's reliable, clean, and kind to the environment.

Installation & Care
Store tapered corks in a temperature- and humidity-controlled environment to maintain their natural flexibility and ensure a consistent fit over time. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat, direct sunlight, or dry conditions, which can cause cork to shrink or harden.
For sizing guidance, refer to the RL Tapered Cork Sizing Reference Guide, which includes a full sizing diagram and the RL Standard Size Reference Chart.
