Magic Moon Sterile Color Caps
Product information "Magic Moon Sterile Color Caps"
Magic Moon Sterile Color Caps – EO-gas sterilized, available in four varieties
Magic Moon’s sterile paint caps come individually sealed: perforated, separable plastic blisters, each sterilized with EO gas and sealed with medical-grade sealing paper. For each setup, you simply detach only the blisters you need—the rest remain sealed and sterile. Four variants are available, differing in diameter and contents; you can select the appropriate one using the variant selection.

The four variants (all EO-gas sterilized, disposable)
- ø 13 mm – 120 blisters, each containing 4 caps (480 caps). Standard size for everyday use: moderate ink volume, suitable for most line work and shading.
- ø 17 mm – 120 blisters, 3 caps each (360 caps). More pigment per cap—for filling in larger areas and larger magnums that require more frequent dipping.
- ø 13 mm + ø 20 mm combo – 120 blister packs, each containing 3 caps (each blister pack contains 2× ø 13 mm + 1× ø 20 mm; 360 caps total). The perfect mix when you need small caps for details and shading, plus a large one for filling in areas.
- ø 33 mm – 60 caps. Large design for holding large amounts of paint, for thinning and mixing, or as a water cup at your workstation.
Why sterile caps?
The difference from loose bulk paint caps isn’t the cap itself, but the seal. Each blister pack remains sterile until opened; it is EO-gas sterilized and sealed with medical-grade sealing paper—similar to the peel-open principle used in disposable medical supplies. This reduces the risk of cross-contamination and can be clearly documented during a hygiene inspection. Sterility is maintained only as long as the blister pack remains intact—a torn or damaged blister pack is no longer sterile.
In Use
Separate the blister pack, peel it open, and remove the cap. A dab of Vaseline under the cap keeps it in place on the work surface instead of tipping over when the needle is inserted—this is especially important for smaller diameters. After the session, the caps are discarded; they are disposable and not reused. The flat blister format saves noticeable space in the case compared to traditional caps or stands, making the sterile color caps a practical companion for conventions and guest spots.
Choosing the Right Size
The diameter depends on the amount of ink and needle configuration: ø 13 mm as an all-rounder for liners and standard shading, ø 17 mm for filling larger areas, the 13/20 mm combo if you need both at the same time, and ø 33 mm for large quantities or as a water cup. If you work with multiple shades, combine them accordingly.
Comparison of Options
Compared to silicone ink caps (reusable, but must be sterilized by the user) and paper caps (biodegradable, but not sterile), the advantage here is the pre-sterilized packaging straight from the factory—no need for your own reprocessing or sterilization steps.
FAQ
Are the caps individually sterile-packed?
Yes. Each perforated blister pack is separately sealed with medical-grade sealing paper and EO-gas sterilized. Sterility is maintained as long as the blister pack remains unopened and undamaged.
How many caps are in each blister pack?
That depends on the variant: 4 (ø 13 mm), 3 (ø 17 mm), 3 (combination 13/20 mm), or 1 (ø 33 mm, as a single cap).
What size do I need?
13 mm diameter for liners and details, 17 mm diameter for packing, the 13/20 mm combo for mixed setups, and 33 mm diameter for large amounts of paint or water.
Can I reuse the caps?
No, they are disposable. Dispose of them after use.
How do I keep the caps in place?
A small dab of Vaseline under the cap will keep it in place on your work surface.
