A metal easy open can end adapted for closing a metal can body is proposed. The can end has a score () defining a removable panel () and a tab (), located at an edge region of the panel, for applying a force to the panel to allow the panel to be removed in a tear direction. The panel () has at least one embossed and/or debossed rib (-) extending substantially in said tear direction from a location or locations proximal to said tab to a location or locations proximal to an end of the panel opposite to said edge region. The rib(s) have a depth or height of at least 0.6 mm relative to surrounding panel regions along at least a part of the rib extent.
