Easy-to-Open Flapper is Now Available
Cleveland, Ohio – Weatherchem Corporation, an innovative dispensing closure manufacturer, has announced the introduction of its new 53mm .485” SR Flapper® closure. This one-hand, one-step dispensing closure provides ease of opening enhancements and greater sift resistance.
The new, sleek styling of the 53mm .485” closure offers a self-cleaning feature to prevent clogging and a deeper thumb-tab undercut for easier opening. The new closure also features a patented hook design that provides superior flap retention, ensuring product freshness while providing controlled access and dispensing of dry products.
The 53mm SR Flapper closure’s sift-resistant feature provides an opportunity to eliminate the liner and reduce closure system costs. Several features of the new closure also add value to the manufacturing process. The one-piece closure leaves no detached parts, the patented design keeps flaps securely closed from the capper to the retail store, and the matching profile and height allow for a seamless transition from a manufacturer’s existing cap to the new SR Flapper.
This SR Flapper fits all types of C.M.A. standard bottles with the 53mm .485” bottle neck finish, and is available in a variety of colors and .300”/Pour dispensing option. The new 53mm SR Flappers are ideal for dispensing spices and seasonings. Other possible applications include grated cheese, dry food products, pet food and pet care products.
