One-Handed Operation: This is its biggest advantage. It's ideal for situations where the user's other hand is busy (e.g., squeezing a bottle, riding a bike, holding onto something).
Re-sealable: Provides excellent protection against spills, leaks, and contamination from dust or germs after the initial opening.
Convenient and User-Friendly: The simple flip-open action is intuitive for all ages.
Leak-Resistant: When designed well with a proper plug seal, it offers very good leak resistance for a wide range of viscosities.
Variety of Flow Rates: The size and shape of the dispensing orifice can be customized for different products—from a small opening for thick sauces to a large one for water or powders.
