Abstract: A tab extending sleeve for a flip-top beverage, snack, and pet food container for easy opening and re-closing, wherein the sleeve is a substantially longitudinal member having a length, a width, a front end, and a distal end. The sleeve includes a top surface and a planar bottom surface being connected to each other, and an internal longitudinal channel is disposed between the top and bottom surfaces. The internal channel extends throughout the entire length of the tab extending sleeve with a width that adequately accommodates a lifting tab of the container. At the front end of the bottom surface there is provided a central notch, whereas an extended holding lip is disposed at the center of the distal end of the top surface which extends beyond the peripheral rim for easy lifting thereof of the beverage container.
