Plastic flip top cap 18/410, black

Plastic flip top cap is a closure for bottles with an 18/410 neck that allows dispensing liquid and semi-liquid products with one hand. Flip the lid open with your thumb, squeeze the contents through the small opening, and snap it shut. It is particularly suitable for smaller packaging of body lotions, liquid soaps, shampoos, conditioners, gels, and rinse-off facial cleansers.

The black colour reads as neutral and pairs well with clear, white, and amber bottles. The cap does not visually compete with the label, keeping the packaging design coherent.

Why choose a flip top

• One-hand dispensing – the lid flips open and snaps shut without unscrewing, which you will appreciate especially in the shower or during quick application.
• Cleaner dispensing – the contents exit through a small opening, the product does not reach the thread, and the neck stays clean.
• Single material – the cap is made entirely of polypropylene (PP), it is lightweight, reusable, and once emptied and rinsed it goes in the plastics recycling stream.

Use and dispensing

The cap is intended for products that can be squeezed through a small opening: liquid to medium-viscosity emulsions, gels, liquid soaps, and shampoos. With very thin liquids (tonics, hydrolats, oils) the contents may flow out faster than desired when the bottle is tilted. For such contents, a spray pump, dropper, or disc top closure is more suitable. Very thick creams, on the other hand, are difficult to squeeze through the opening and are better suited to a jar or pump dispenser.

Suitable 18/410 neck bottles as well as ready-made bottle-and-cap combinations are available in the Handymade range. When assembling your own combination, we recommend testing the seal, the flow of dispensing, and the behaviour of the cap with your specific formulation.

Good to know

The cap is suitable for use with cosmetic products; a declaration of conformity is available on the product page. Information on suitability for direct food contact is not available, so we do not recommend it for food applications.

Before first use, wash the cap and, if needed, disinfect it with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and allow to dry completely. When reusing, also clean the inside of the opening and the lid hinge, where product residue may accumulate.

For formulations with a high proportion of essential oils, alcohol, or solvents, we recommend verifying compatibility with the plastic over time. Allow the product to cool to room temperature before closing.
