In packaging and manufacturing, kappningen denotes the process of placing a cap or seal on a container to close it and protect its contents. It encompasses the operation of capping lines in bottling facilities, the selection of closures for integrity and tamper evidence, and the quality checks that ensure proper sealing.

In medicine and dentistry, kappningen can appear in regional usage to describe the application of a cap or crown on a tooth or the provision of a protective covering for a wound or lesion. Usage varies by country and discipline, so terminology is not entirely standardized.

In architecture, construction, and geology, kappningen may appear in compound terms related to cap stones, cap formations, or other upper-covering features that protect or finish underlying structures. These uses are less uniform and often contextual.
