“The Flapper provides easy, trouble free convenience of controlled dispensing to our product. Through consumer research, our brand and packaging team found that the Flapper cap provided us the highest consumer satisfaction levels when dispensing the product. Another benefit to consumers and Milliken’s operations is the elimination of a separator sifter replaced so effectively by this dispensing cap”, explains Scott McDowell, Product Line Manager for Milliken & Company.

This versatile closure brings more value-added capabilities to Milliken consumers. “The cap allows the use of induction liners offering tamper evidence and long shelf life, which we could not offer with the previous package. With easier opening and re-closing of the package, we now provide a secure seal when the product is not in use”, says McDowell. According to McDowell, Milliken along with their supplier TricorBraun chose the Flapper closure for their Capture product because “Weatherchem’s reputation for making high quality products gives us confidence that there will be no failures when using the caps. This is extremely important with consumer products due to loss of brand value that one recall can cause”.
