Continuous Thread Closure Mold Types
Unscrewing and Stripped are the two mold types used to manufacture Continuous Thread Closures. The differences occur in the molding process: when applied to a bottle finish, both function the same.
“Unscrewing” Closure Features:
- Closure has lugs around the bottom of the skirt
- Lugs enable the closure to be held in place while the “unscrewing” motion occurs, releasing the closure from the mold
- Threads continue to the top inside of the closure
- Liners are glued into the closure because the threads go to the top inside
- Mainly used for small size closures
“Stripped” Closure Features:
- No lugs on this closure – it is popped off or “stripped” from the mold
- Threads end before the top inside of the closure, creating a well area
- Liners are friction-fit inside because the well area and the threads hold the liner in place
- Mainly used for larger size closures
