tapa levadiza


Explanation:
I think this is quite correct using Spanish-only words. Or you can do something like: tapa levadiza (flip-top)

Cita del sitio de ref: "...Formula B.R. viene en un conveniente envase **"flip top" (tapa levadiza)**, que permite aplicar directamente sobre la mancha unas pocas gotas a la vez..."

Saludos...
