Flip top cap feeders for hinged plastic closures

Flip top caps often need more careful handling than simple screw caps because the hinge, lid profile and decorative features can affect how the cap sits and moves in the feeder.

Orientation may need to control the cap face, hinge direction or open-side position depending on the capping machine and packaging requirement.

Samples should be tested in the closed condition expected during production.

Hinge positionConfirm whether the hinge direction matters at the capper.

Cap balanceCheck if the hinged lid affects how the cap travels in bulk and in tracks.

Surface finishGloss, ribs or decoration can affect sliding and orientation.
