There are two main types of cosmetic plastic caps: plastic flip cap and plastic flip top cap. How to choose? The strengths and weaknesses of the two kinds of cosmetic plastic caps are as follows.

Plastic Flip Cap

Plastic flip cap, also known as screw cap, is a cap that connects and fits with the container by rotating through its own thread structure.

Plastic Flip Top Cap

Plastic flip top cap, also known as snap cap, is a cap that is attached to the container by a structure such as a jaw or snap closure. The design of the flip top cap is based on the high toughness of the plastic itself, especially PP/PE which is a tough material and can take full advantage of the claw structure. During the installation process, the jaws of the snap cap are deformed briefly when the ratchet structure of the bottle is pressed and pulled on. Then, under the effect of the material's own elasticity, the jaws quickly return to their original shape and tightly grip the container mouth. As a result, the lid can be fixed to the container.
