Abstract: An improved molded plastic closure is provided, wherein the closure is formed from polymeric resin material, and exhibits a relatively higher concentration of a lubricant composition on an inside surface thereof, including one or more selected regions of the inside surface, to facilitate application to and removal from an associated container, The present invention contemplates a method of making a molded closure by selective application of a lubricant composition to one or more regions of the inside surface thereof. Two different types of lubricant compositions can be applied at two different regions of the inside surface of the closure, wherein the compositions can be selected for preferred organoleptic and lubrication characteristics.
