A closure comprising
- a first top wall, a first side wall coupled to the first top wall and arranged to extend away from the first top wall, and an annular sleeve spaced radially inward from the first side wall relative to a vertical axis of the closure and arranged to extend downwardly from the first top wall,
- a second top wall extending radially outward from the first side wall and a second side wall coupled to the second top wall and arranged to extend away from the second top wall,
- a third side wall coupled to an outer edge of the second top wall and spaced apart radially outward from the second side wall, and wherein a lock tab is coupled to a lower end of the third side wall and arranged to extend downwardly from the third side wall beyond a lower edge of the third side wall to engage a companion stationary tab blocker coupled to a container to block rotation of the closure relative to the container, and
- a spout sealer including a rim sealer and an annular plug wall spaced radially inward from the rim sealer relative to the vertical axis, the annular plug wall extending axially downwardly and radially outwardly from an inside surface of the second top wall between the second side wall and the annular sleeve, the annular plug wall being spaced apart radially from the annular sleeve relative to the vertical axis and including a flex section and a plug mover that extends downwardly from the flex section.

A closure comprising
- a first top wall, a first side wall coupled to the first top wall and arranged to extend away from the first top wall, and an annular sleeve spaced radially inward from the first side wall relative to a vertical axis of the closure and arranged to extend downwardly from the first top wall to define a residual-product catch basin between the first side wall and the annular sleeve,
- a second top wall extending radially outward from the first side wall and a second side wall coupled to the second top wall and arranged to extend downward away from the second top wall,
- a third side wall coupled to an outer edge of the second top wall and spaced apart radially outward from the second side wall, and wherein a lock tab is coupled to the third side wall to provide a portion of a child-resistant lock, the lock tab extending downwardly from the third side wall beyond a lower edge of the third side wall, and
- an annular plug wall extending axially downwardly and radially outwardly from an inside surface of the second top wall between the second side wall and the annular sleeve, the annular plug wall being spaced apart radially from the annular sleeve relative to the vertical axis and including a flex section and a plug mover that extends downwardly from the flex section.
