A method of forming a bi-injected closure, comprising the steps of: forming a cap with a top plate and a depending sidewall, in a first injection moulding phase using a first mould part, the cap formed so as to include one or more external sealing areas; changing the first mould part for a second mould part, the second mould part sealing against the or each sealing area on the cap; and forming an outer ring around the cap sidewall whilst the second mould part is sealed against the sealing area/s in a second moulding phase.

Method of forming a closure

A head stand container closure is provided. The closure comprises a base, and a lid having a top plate upon which the closure rests in use. The base is attachable to a container and the lid is attached or attachable to the base. The closure comprises an internal tamper-evident member comprising a part which is initially spaced from the lid top plate and upon first opening of the closure the part moves to or towards the top plate when the head is in a head down orientation.

Head stand closure with a tamper-evident seal

A flip-top dispensing closure () is provided. The closure comprises: a base () connectable to a container neck (); a lid () hingedly connected to the base so as to be movable between a closed position and an open position; and a dispensing member (). The closure further comprises a tamper-indicating member (). The tamper-indicating member () activates either: upon first opening of the lid (); or if the base () is removed from the neck ().

Tamper-evident closure

Closure

An orientatable closure for a container comprises a body with a screw thread, the thread comprising a first portion having a first thickness and a second portion having a second thickness. The first and second thicknesses are different and the interface between the first and second portions defines a stop such that a co-operating screw thread on a container is not rotatable past the interface, whereby to define a predetermined relative orientation between the closure and container.

A tamper-evident closure may include a base, a lid, and a tamper-evident member. The tamper-evident member may be irreversibly moveable between a first position in which part of the member is visible prior to initial opening of the closure and a second position in which the part is masked by the lid so as to be partly hidden from view. Upon initial opening of the closure, the tamper-evident member may be moved from the first position to the second position.
