A method of sterile capping a plurality of I.V. bottles with temporary sterile caps. A plurality of caps are provided in a single sterile package, which package is opened within the confines of a sterile working environment and the caps distributed face-up on a working surface. Packing caps are removed from I.V. bottles within the sterile environment and dilutant added to the bottles. The bottles are then sequentially inverted and press-fit into corresponding temporary caps to achieve a sterile sealing relationship between the bottles and caps. The described method results in a large savings of preparation time, produces less litter, and eliminates a bruised or "red" palm problem encountered in the prior art.
