Closure for a container with

• a base element directly or indirectly attachable to a container,
• a flip-top lid attached to said base element by a hinge such that the flip-top lid can be moved between an opened and a closed position, and
• a tamper evident element for indicating whether the flip-top lid has been opened at least once by a user or not,
• said flip-top lid comprising a top cover element and an outer side wall extending therefrom,
• wherein said tamper evident element is movable between a first position and a second position, wherein said tamper evident element is in its first position, when said closure is in its as-manufactured status or when said flip-top lid has not been opened yet by the user, and wherein said tamper evident element is operable by a user to be moved from its first position into its second position and to concurrently move said flip-top lid for the first time from of its closed position into its opened position,
• characterized in that
• said closure is arranged such that said tamper evident element is attached to said flip-top lid and arranged such that it is linearly movable relative to said flip-top lid from its first to its second position,
• said flip-top lid further comprises an inner side wall, which extends only around a part of the circumference of said closure, wherein at least parts of said inner side wall and at least parts of said outer side wall together form guidance means for enabling and controlling the linear movement of said tamper evident element from its first position to its second position,
• wherein said tamper evident element is, in its as-manufactured status or when said flip-top lid has not yet been opened by the user, frangibly connected to said base element by at least one frangible bridge, and
• wherein said tamper evident element has a first latch element and said flip-top lid has a second latch element, said first latch element and said second latch element are arranged such that they keep or latch the tamper evident element in its second position once the tamper evident element has been moved into its second position for the first time.
