Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of food packaging, and in particular relates to a storage bottle cap and a bottle. Background Art

[0002] Bottle caps are an important part of food and beverage packaging. They are also the first place where consumers come into contact with the product, and are directly related to consumers' first consumption experience. Bottle caps are packaging materials used to seal bottles. They can seal the bottle mouth to prevent the liquid in the bottle from spilling. With the growing demand for different consumer experiences and diversified beverage consumption, bottle caps with only sealing functions can no longer meet consumers' more personalized needs.
