System comprising a radially aligned container and closure

A system comprising

• a container including a top wall formed to include a product-discharge outlet, a side wall extending downwardly from the top wall, and an alignment fitting at a single desired radial location coupled to an exterior portion of the side wall, and
• a closure including a body having an opening at a top of the body, a flip-top cap, and a hinge coupled to the body and to the flip-top cap to support the flip-top cap for movement from a closed position on the body covering the product-discharge outlet to an opened position away from the body uncovering the product-discharge outlet, wherein the body is formed to include a fitment retaining ring extending inwardly from the body and cooperating with a circumferential groove on the container to couple the body to the container and an alignment guide coupled to an interior wall of the body, the alignment guide extending from the opening at the top toward the fitment retaining ring, the closure is formed so that the top opening exposes the product-discharge outlet formed in the top wall of the container, and the alignment guide on the interior wall of the body of the closure is arranged to mate with the alignment fitting on the container to ensure that the closure does not rotate with respect to the container upon mating engagement of the closure and the container to orient the closure in a fixed position on the container.

A system comprising

• a container including a top wall formed to include a product-discharge outlet and a side wall extending downwardly from the top wall and forming an axial groove at a single desired radial location arranged to lie in spaced-apart parallel relation to a central axis extending through the product-discharge outlet and along a length of a container, and
• a closure including a body coupled to the side wall of the container and formed to include a top opening exposing the product-discharge outlet, a flip-top cap, and a hinge coupled to the body and to the flip-top cap to support the flip-top cap for movement from a closed position on the body covering the product-discharge outlet to an opened position away from the body uncovering the product-discharge outlet, wherein the body is formed to include a closure plane lip at the top opening and a fitment retaining ring extending inwardly from the body and spaced from the top opening, the fitment retaining ring being shaped for attachment to the container, the body including an alignment guide above the fitment retaining ring and extending from the closure plane lip toward the fitment retaining ring, the alignment guide being arranged to extend into the axial groove formed in the side wall of the container to define means for ensuring that the closure maintains a specific radial orientation with respect to the container, and wherein the closure is coupled to the container.
