The 38mm Contact Clear Domed Lid with bore seal is a versatile, high-clarity closure solution designed for manufacturers and brands across personal care, home care, and health care markets. Its defining feature — an internal bore seal — sets it apart from standard flat or compression-seal closures, delivering a more secure, reliable seal that protects product integrity across a broad range of liquid, gel, cream, and powder formulations.
Unlike closures that seal against the top rim of a container, a bore seal closure works by pressing a protruding inner plug against the inside wall of the container neck. This internal contact creates a tighter, more consistent seal that is particularly effective at preventing leakage, reducing air ingress, and maintaining product freshness — even under pressure or during transit where containers may be subject to movement and temperature variation.
The clear domed profile of this lid adds both functional and aesthetic value. The dome shape provides a clean, modern appearance that allows product colour and texture to remain visible through the lid, enhancing shelf appeal and supporting consumer confidence at point of purchase. The high-clarity construction is well-suited to brands seeking a clean, uncluttered packaging aesthetic that lets the product speak for itself — a popular choice across premium personal care, natural beauty, and health care product lines.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is a bore seal closure and how does it differ from a standard lid?
A bore seal closure features an inner protruding plug that presses against the inside wall of the container neck when the lid is tightened. This creates a seal on the internal surface of the neck rather than against the top rim of the container. The result is a more secure, consistent seal that offers better leakage resistance and reduced air ingress compared to many standard rim-seal closures.
What are the practical benefits of a bore seal over other seal types?
The bore seal creates a tighter internal fit that is particularly effective at preventing leakage during transit and storage, reducing oxidation of sensitive formulations, and maintaining product freshness over time. For liquid, gel, and cream products where leakage is a key concern, the bore seal offers a meaningful performance advantage over standard flat or foam-lined lids.
What containers is this lid compatible with?
This lid is designed for containers with a 38mm neck diameter across PET, HDPE, and glass formats. It offers broad compatibility across a wide range of standard jar and bottle types used in personal care, home care, and health care packaging. Always confirm your container’s neck measurement before ordering to ensure a correct fit.
What does the clear domed profile offer beyond aesthetics?
The clear dome allows consumers to see the product inside the container without opening it, which can be a significant advantage at retail by reinforcing product colour, texture, and quality. The dome profile also adds a contemporary, premium appearance to the overall packaging, which is increasingly valued across personal care and natural beauty product lines.
Is this lid suitable for liquid products?
Yes. The bore seal is specifically well-suited to liquid and semi-liquid formulations including lotions, creams, gels, and liquid soaps, where a secure, leakage-resistant seal is essential. It is also suitable for powders and other dry formulations requiring reliable closure performance.
What materials is this lid made from?
This lid is manufactured from clear polypropylene (PP) or a similar high-clarity plastic material. Please refer to the product specification for confirmed material details, or contact us if you have specific material compliance requirements for your product or market.
Is this lid compatible with induction heat seal liners?
This lid features a bore seal rather than an IHS liner. If induction heat sealing is a specific requirement for your product — for example, for tamper evidence or enhanced airtight performance — please contact us and we can specify the best options from our wide range of IHS closures.
Can I customise this lid with my branding?
Yes. BlueSky offers decoration and enhancement options from stock with a minimum order quantity of 2,500 units. For non-stock customisation, MOQs are subject to supplier terms. Standard MOQ across stock and non-stock products is 10,000 units. Please contact us to discuss your design and branding requirements and we will advise on the best customisation route for your needs.
Is polypropylene safe for use with personal care and health care products?
Yes. Polypropylene is widely approved for use in personal care, cosmetic, and health care packaging. It is chemically resistant, lightweight, and compliant with international food and pharmaceutical contact material regulations including EU and FDA standards, making it a trusted and versatile material across these sectors.
Are these lids available in large volumes?
Yes. These lids are available in bulk quantities suitable for manufacturers, brands, contract packagers, and packaging distributors at all scales. Please refer to the product listing for available pack sizes and volume pricing, and contact us for high-volume or bespoke enquiries.
Is polypropylene recyclable?
Yes. Polypropylene is a recyclable plastic, though acceptance rates vary by region and local recycling infrastructure. Please refer to your local recycling guidelines for specific disposal instructions and consider including recycling guidance on your product labelling as part of your sustainability communications.
