Flip Top

A flip top is a type of closure or lid commonly found on containers such as bottles, jars, and boxes. It is characterized by a hinged design that allows the user to easily open and close the container with a single hand movement. The “flip” action refers to the lid or top being able to be flipped open and often snapped shut, or otherwise secured, via a latch, friction, or similar mechanism. Flip tops are frequently favored for their convenience and reusability, providing a quick and simple method for accessing the contents of the container while also offering a relatively secure seal when closed. Common applications include beverage bottles, cosmetic containers, and storage boxes. The material used for flip tops varies widely, including plastic, metal, and composite materials, depending on the application and desired durability. The hinge mechanism and locking features can also vary in design, influencing the ease of use and security of the closure.
