A lid suitable for closing a metal can includes a metal ring onto which a peelable membrane is sealed. An inner annular part of the metal ring is equipped with a roll defining an annular space therebetween. The first connection portion of the roll and the second connection portion of the inner annular part opposite are sealed to one another by element of a heat-sealing material to form a seal sealing the annular space so at to protect the free edge of the roll. The invention also relates to a method for producing such a lid.

Lid for a metal can, comprising a metal ring and a peelable, heat-sealed membrane

A container such as a can for holding a product to be packaged, in particular a food item, includes a can body () made up of a bottom element () which is extended by a side wall (), the can body () defining an inner packaging space () and including an inner surface () made at least partially of tin, which is covered with a protective layer () intended for resisting the chemical activity of the product to be packaged. The protective layer () includes, distributed over at least one portion of the surface thereof, a plurality of pores () through each one of which an area () opposite the tin inner surface () can be accessed from the inner container space (), in particular to allow the release of tin while minimizing the aesthetic impact caused by the chemical activity of the product to be packaged on the tin inner surface ().

Can-shaped container having a protective inner layer

A can (), in particular for conditioning foodstuff, includes a body composed of a bottom element () which is prolonged by a lateral wall (), the interior surface () of the body being at least in part made of tin, the tin surface () being partially covered with a coat of protective lacquer () to prevent the contact between the tin surface () and the foodstuff, the lacquerless tin surface, the 'exposed', being intended to come into contact with the foodstuff in order to set free the tin. The exposed tin surface is constituted of a plurality of 'exposed' tin zones (), which are separated, ones from the others, by lacquered zones (), the exposed tin zones () being distributed on the height of the lateral wall (), in particular to limit the aesthetic impact due to chemical action of the foodstuff on the exposed tin zones ().
