Spectra Packaging announced a new range of flip-top closures.

The new caps have been created to fit Spectra's standard containers and have been designed to offer greater performance with improved ergonomics. Spectra will be launching a 24/415-neck version first, followed by 24/410 and 20/415 options.

The new flip-tops are bore-sealed closures as opposed to conventional platform-sealed caps. This means the inside of the cap slides tightly into the inside of the bottles neck cavity for a more effective seal, eliminating potential leaks and drips.

Another major improvement carried out by Spectra's design team is the new improved ergonomic thumb recess, which appears on both the top flip element and the main body of the cap. This means the closure is easier to flip open, whilst offering a more visually appealing look.

Another benefit for Spectra customers is they can now enjoy reduced lead times because these closures can now be manufactured and colored in-house at the company’s manufacturing plant in the U.K. Additionally, customers can also request a controlled thread start system for a desired orientation on their closures as well.
