Abstract
A flip-top closure includes first and second closure portions. The first closure portion includes a polymeric top wall portion, a sealing mechanism, and a polymeric annular skirt portion depending from the top wall portion. The skirt portion includes an internal thread formation for mating with a container. The second closure portion includes a polymeric tamper-evident band depending from and being partially detachably connected to the skirt portion by a frangible connection. The frangible connection extends partially around the periphery of the closure. The first and second closure portions are attached via at least one hinge. The at least one hinge assists in moving the closure between an open and closed positions after the frangible connection has been broken.
