• a closure body comprising a main closure body and a closure cap, the main closure body coupled to the closure cap via a flexible hinge;
• and
• a co-injected valve detachably coupled to the closure body and comprising:
• a valve frame coupled to the closure body and formed from a first injection material and comprising:
• a radial ledge;
• and
• a radial wall, the radial wall extending substantially perpendicular to the radial ledge;
• and
• a valve head formed from a second injection material permanently coupled to the valve frame and comprising:
• a valve head portion with one or more valve head slits;
• a hinge portion coupled to the valve head portion such that at least a portion of the hinge portion is disposed substantially above the radial wall;
• a sleeve portion coupled to the hinge portion;
• and
• a peripheral sealing flange coupled to the sleeve portion, the peripheral sealing flange supported by the radial wall and sealably coupled to the main closure body;
• wherein the valve head portion is configured to be operable between an open position and a closed position;
• wherein the valve head portion has a first thickness, the hinge portion has a second thickness, and the sleeve portion has a third thickness;
• and
• wherein the second thickness is substantially greater than the first thickness and substantially greater than the third thickness, such that the hinge portion, the sleeve portion, and the peripheral sealing flange are stationary as the valve head transitions between the closed position and the open position.
