Flip-Top Caps: What Fits, and What Fails
By Joe Joo · 8PCK · Shantou · Updated 26 October 2026
Flip-Top Caps in 20/410, used for shampoo, lotion and travel sizes. The specification question is a spigot that is too shallow and drips after closing.
A flip-top lives or dies on the spigot depth, not the lid.
We supply flip-top caps for shampoo, lotion and travel sizes, tested on the bottle rather than shipped loose.
The free Bottle Spec Checker tests whether your neck fits the closure and whether the wall survives a pump stroke.

What Fits
Flip-Top Caps come in 20/410, 24/410, 28/410. Choosing the neck first cuts the range to two or three options, and the rest is dose, finish and liner.
The failure we see most is a spigot that is too shallow and drips after closing.
The Neck Rule
Diameter plus thread: 410 and 415 are not interchangeable.
Testing
Fitted and leak-tested on the filled bottle before packing.
Where It Fails
A spigot that is too shallow and drips after closing. That is decided by the specification, not by the mould.
Ask for a filled sample left on its side for 48 hours before approving.
What to Send in a Brief
Neck, closure type, product viscosity and quantity. Those four answers are enough to quote.
Ordering Closures Without Ordering the Wrong Ones
A closure is only as good as the bottle it is tested on. Two suppliers can each be within tolerance and still leak as a pair, so the test has to be on the filled pack.
Send the Bottle, Not the Drawing
Dimensions do not capture thread start or the sealing land.
Send the Product
A gasket that passes with water can swell in a week with a solvent.
Agree the Sample
Keep one filled, approved sample as the reference for the production run.
Cost and Lead Time
Closures are quoted per 1,000 pcs and up, with a separate tooling cost only if the shape does not exist. Standard caps and pumps are stock items; anything moulded for you starts at 3,000–5,000 pcs.
