shrink cover


Explanation:
I have also seen 'shrink cap' and 'shrink lid' but the idea here is more of something that shrinks (done by some kind of heat source) to fit over the opening and a cap seems to rigid for me to do that. Whereas a cover is usually constructed of more pliable material.

I hope that this helps.
Good luck!
