Friction fit closure is used to seal or close a jug, tube, bottle, or can as devices and techniques. These can be a plug, cover, cap or lid. The other types such as drums and boxes may also have friction fit closures. Friction fit closures are different from the other closure types as they require some extra force to close or open the lid of the container. The friction fit closure is used to keep the life of the contents of the container until the time of opening it. They act as a barrier to the moisture, oxygen, dirt etc. as these are harmful to some products like food and chemicals. These are used to keep the products safe and secure till the undesired opening of the container is done. They are also to be used as reclosing to the box. They are used to provide reasonable safety by keeping the lid tightly closed and to provide the easiest way to open or close it. The friction fit closure is the ones which are made fittest to the structure of the opening of the container. These can be of plastic, rubber or cork.
