The "disk closure" is another plug-orifice type, a two-piece design consisting of an orifice closure base and a plug fitment hinged to a round disk which is set into the closure top. By pressing upon the access point, the disk fitment swings up upon its hinges, deactivating the plug seal from the orifice for one-handed dispension. Some of these designs also produce audible "snap" upon engagement and disengagement.

OBS

The one-hand, one-finger action closure has gained high consumer preference particularly on personal-care and sun-care products.
