Thermoformed polyester resin closures for closing containers, the polyester resins including polyethylene terephthalate ('PET'), polyethylene furandicarboxylate (“PEF”), or a copolymer including PET and PEF, are provided herein. Methods of making the thermoformed closures are further provided. Methods of sterilizing the thermoformed closures are further provided.

Pressure dome cap

A device for folding an edge portion () along a circumferential direction of a mantle of a closure cap () for a container, for forming a retaining ring on the closure cap (), comprises a first transport device for transporting the closure cap () along a transport path, which comprises a processing path, wherein the first transport device comprises a driver () rotatable about an axis of rotation for receiving a closure cap (). A stationary folding rail () with a folding angle that changes along the processing path is arranged along the processing path in such a way that during transport of a closure cap () by the first transport device along the folding rail (), the edge portion () can be folded along the circumferential direction of the mantle of the closure cap () in the direction of the axis of rotation about a folding axis that is orientated orthogonally to the axis of rotation and spaced apart from the axis of rotation.
