Abstract
A re-closable container comprising a container body (), a single piece metal closure and a layer of sealing compound provided on an underside of the closure. The container body and the closure have first cooperating features () to allow the closure to be twisted onto and off of the container body. The layer of sealing compound and a sealing surface () of the container body which comes into contact with the sealing compound have second cooperating features () which establish one or more venting passages upon rotation of the closure from a closed position. The second cooperating features comprise one or more protrusions or indents in the sealing surface and one or more corresponding indents or protrusions on the sealing compound that are radially aligned with the one or more protrusions or indents in the sealing surface when the closure is in a closed position.
