A fibroptic splice closure (30) comprises a first component (44) having a sealing surface (164), a second component (42) having an abutting sealing surface (64) and at least one substantially planar splice tray (400) configured to be removably coupled to the first component (44) such that the splice tray (400) extends substantially perpendicular to the sealing surface (164) of the first component (44). The fiberoptic closure (30) is configured to store the slack fibers (322) around the perimeter of the splice tray (400)
