Abstract
A snap fitting, tamper evident overcap for drums and bung covers is described. The tamper evident strip is attached to a peripheral edge of the overcap, and it is removed by tearing along a vertical groove formed in the strip and then, by way of a grasping handle, rotationally pulling the strip so as to break the frangible bridge elements that previously held the strip to the overcap.
