A closure (1) comprises a first component (3) which assembles onto an outlet opening of a container (2), provides a seal and contains a snap component (7) and is threadingly engaged to a second component (4) of the closure. Said second component comprises a dispensing orifice (5) positioned directly adjacent to the open portion of the container outlet. The second component (4) will threadingly engage with the first component (3) when the second component (4) is moved relative to the first component to enable operation of the orifice (5). The first component (3) comprises one or more elements in a specific juxtaposition enabling a small height and a low profile for said element (s), which are in the plane or below the plane of the outlet of the container (2). Un sistema de cierre (1) comprende un primer componente (3) que se ensambla sobre una abertura de salida de un envase (2), proporciona un sello y contiene un componente de presión (7) y se acopla, de forma enroscada, a un segundo componente (4) del sistema de cierre. Dicho segundo componente comprende un orificio de suministro (5) colocado directamente adyacente a la porción abierta de la salida del envase. El segundo componente (4) se acoplará, de forma enroscada, con el primer componente (3) cuando el segundo componente (4) se mueve con relación al primer componente para permitir el funcionamiento del orificio (5). El primer componente (3) comprende uno o más elementos en una yuxtaposición específica que permite una altura baja y un perfil bajo para dicho(s) elemento(s), que están en el plano o por debajo del plano de la salida del envase (2).
