What is a strike lip?

A strike lip is a feature commonly found on the edges of certain types of containers, such as bottles or jars, designed to facilitate easier pouring and to prevent spills. It typically refers to a raised or angled edge that directs the flow of the liquid being poured. This design helps improve control when dispensing the contents, making it more user-friendly. Strike lips are often employed in packaging for various liquids, including beverages and condiments.
