flip top

Bottle cap style

Flip top describes a hinged lid or cap that opens by flipping up rather than unscrewing or pulling off.

Common on beverage cans, shampoo bottles, and pill containers: a flip-top cap, flip-top trash can.

The design allows one-handed operation and easy reclosing.

Also spelled flip-top as a noun or adjective.
