1. A closure system for sealing a container constructed and arranged to be mated with a container body, the closure system comprising: a fixed element comprising a can end comprising a dispensing portion and a channel guide having a first end and a second end, the fixed element constructed and arranged to be secured to an end of the container body; anda movable closure element comprising: a top cover comprising a lever and snap hooks engaged at least partially with the channel guide and constructed and arranged to allow horizontal movement of the top cover along at least a portion of the channel guide while restricting movement of the top cover in other directions, the top cover covering the dispensing portion in a first position; anda sealing portion comprising a lever receiving portion constructed and arranged to accept the lever such that, as the lever is lifted, the sealing portion moves in a downward direction away from the can end to a predetermined distance from a bottom surface of the can end, and as the top cover is moved horizontally from the first end of the channel guide to the second end of the channel guide the sealing portion is moved horizontally at the predetermined distance with the top cover and the dispensing portion is exposed. 2. The closure system of claim 1, wherein at the first position the top cover covers the dispensing portion, the lever of the top cover is resting on the top cover, and the sealing portion is in contact with a bottom surface of the can end; at a second position the top cover covers the dispensing portion, the lever is lifted relative to the first position, and the sealing portion is spaced a predetermined distance from the bottom surface of the can end; andat a third position the top cover and the sealing portion expose the dispensing portion, and the sealing portion is spaced a predetermined distance from the bottom surface of the can end. 3. The closure system of claim 2, wherein at a fourth position the top cover and the sealing portion expose the dispensing portion, the lever is lowered to rest on the top cover, and the sealing portion is in contact with the bottom surface of the can end. 4. The closure system of claim 3, wherein at a fifth position the top cover and the sealing portion expose at least a portion of the dispensing portion, the lever of the top cover is lifted relative to the fourth position, and the sealing portion is spaced a predetermined distance from the bottom surface of the can end. 5. The closure system of claim 4, wherein at a sixth position the top cover and sealing portion expose at least a portion of the dispensing portion, the lever of the top cover is lowered relative to the fifth position, and the sealing portion is in contact with the bottom surface of the can end. 6. The closure system of claim 5, wherein the fixed element is made of a material that is compatible with a material of at least one of the top cover and the sealing portion. 7. The closure system of claim 6, wherein at least one of the top cover and the sealing portion is made of a polymeric material. 8. The closure system of claim 7, wherein the total weight of the polymeric material is less than or equal to 10 grams. 9. The closure system of claim 1, wherein the lever is constructed and arranged to operatively interact with the lever receiving portion. 10. The closure system of claim 9, wherein the top cover is constructed and arranged to at least partially secure the top cover to the fixed element. 11. The closure system of claim 10, wherein the top cover is constructed and arranged to mate with the lever. 12. The closure system of claim 11, wherein the top cover is constructed and arranged to maintain alignment of the top cover with the channel guide. 13. The closure system of claim 9, wherein contents within the container are pressurized and the sealing portion is constructed and arranged to release pressure from within the container. 14. The closure system of claim 13, wherein the lever operatively interacts with the sealing portion to release pressure from within the container. 15. The closure system of claim 14, wherein pressure is released from the container when the lever is lifted from a resting position on the top cover to a predetermined angle. 16. The closure system of claim 15, wherein as the lever is lifted, a portion of the lever becomes aligned with the sealing portion to release pressure from within the container. 17. The closure system of claim 1, wherein the top cover is constructed and arranged to secure the lever in a resting position. 18. A closure system for sealing a container constructed and arranged to be mated with a container body, the closure system comprising: a fixed element comprising a can end comprising a dispensing portion and a channel guide, the fixed element constructed and arranged to be secured to an end of the container body;a movable closure element comprising a top cover comprising a grip and snap hooks positioned at least partially within the channel guide and constructed and arranged to allow horizontal movement of the top cover along at least a portion of the channel guide while restricting movement of the top cover in other directions, the top cover covering the dispensing portion in a first position; anda sealing portion constructed and arranged to operatively interact with the top cover, such that as the top cover is engaged, the sealing portion moves in a vertical direction to a predetermined distance from a bottom surface of the can end, and as the top cover is moved in a horizontal direction along the channel guide, the sealing portion moves in the horizontal direction at the predetermined distance.
