Specification of Ketchup Bottle Cap with Silicone Valve

What is a ketchup Bottle Cap?

Ketchup bottle caps, commonly known as flip-top dispensing caps, are specialized closures designed for easy squeezing and controlled dispensing of ketchup and other thick condiments. They often incorporate a liquid silicone valve that ensures a smooth, drip-free flow, preventing spills and mess.

These ketchup bottle covers are manufactured from food-grade polypropylene (PP) and are compatible with bottles featuring a 38-400 neck finish and a 53mm outer diameter. The flip-top design offers convenience, hygiene, and leak-proof performance, making it ideal for packaging ketchup, tomato sauce, tomato paste, and other viscous condiments.

In summary, a modern ketchup dispensing cap is far more than a simple lid—it is a precision-engineered dispensing system designed for convenience, cleanliness, and product preservation.
