snap lid

Click-shut container cover

A snap lid is a cover that attaches by snapping into place rather than screwing or pressing on.

The term typically describes lids on food storage containers, travel mugs, or similar items where a hinge or flexible edge clicks securely onto the rim: The snap lid keeps the container airtight.

The design allows quick one-handed opening and closing.
