tear-off cap and overcap

I think -

100 gm polypropylene/polyethylene pump dispenser with natural (translucent) polypropylene body. The nozzle is sealed with a polyethylene acetyl tab. The pump is closed with an opaque polypropylene overcap and overwrapped with an opaque shrink-wrap.

tear off seal and cap

Looking at this document, it indicates that the 'capsula a strappo' is in contact with the fluid, while the 'sovracapsula' is the firm lid above the seal not in contact with the fluid. You may need a more specific term, this is a best guess.

Best of luck.
Example sentence:

"Sciroppo - Flacone in vetro ambrato, chiuso con capsula in polipropilene a strappo con guarnizione in polieti lene a bassa densità, a contatto con il prodotto. Sulla capsula viene posta una sovracapsula in polipropilene (non a contatto con il prodotto).
