Today we want to tell you about a product that we have started to produce recently: the flip-top cap. It’s an innovative closure type, particularly suited for the hair products sector, but that can also be used for cosmetics and herbal products.

This is how it works. It consists essentially of two parts: the flip, the lower part which closes the container, and the top, which in turn closes the flip. The two parts are connected by a special small plastic strip, which in technical terms is called hinge and which acts almost as a spring. Thanks to this characteristic, the product is particularly appreciated by end users, who more and more are looking for practicality and ease of use in packaging.

But experience in the field of cosmetics teaches us that practicality on its own is not enough: another element that packaging for this type of industry just cannot do without is attention to design and details. Our flip-top cap is made entirely of PP (polypropylene) and can be customized according to the Client’s needs.

This means that clients can choose the basic colouring, available with the standard or Pantone colours, as well as the subsequent decoration, which is done by pad printing. Simply put, we use soft and flexible pads that make it possible to accurately reproduce text, drawings and various decorations on the cap.

With this new product we are increasing our range and also continuing the pursuit of excellence that has been our company’s hallmark since its foundation, in 1965 (read here about the history of Mav).
