An anti-rotation method (50, 52, 53, 55), used to hold containers (10) such as beverage bottles, usually after they are filled and while being capped, involves providing a container with a neck portion having an optional lip, where there is a series of interior or exterior notches (22, 30, 40) around the lip (20) or neck portion (16) of the container; contacting the neck portion of the container with a locking plate (24) that has protrusions (26, 40) or indentations (32) that are insertable into or fit around corresponding notches in the container neck or lip, and the plate (24) fits around the container and is connected to a capping machine; and locking the plate such that a releasable anti-rotation clamping action is applied to the container.
