The newest batch of Top Shields is in, and a change has been made to the design and especially the folding flap.
When the Top Shield was announced, it was mentioned that the half circle tab with the oval punch out would be revised. It was a design where the prototypes worked better than production.
Numerous closing methods were tried and a simple tuck method worked best, which lead to the current profile now released for sale.
In addtion, the original design was so close to fitting semi-rigids that the new revised design now accomodiates!
There’s an additional bend line on the folding flap that is placed perfectly to fit semi-rigids. The semi-rigids are on the left side and a top loader on the right side in the pictures below.
Last, if you prefer not to tuck, you can always simply tape the flap down!
