Abstract
Container () comprising a substantially tubular metal container body () having a top opening defined by an outwardly curled edge, and a bottom opening. The container further comprises a peelable lid () bonded to an upper surface of said curled edge to close said top opening in an airtight manner, the outermost edge of the peelable lid not extending beyond an outermost extent of said curled edge, and a metal closure () comprising a generally planar centre panel () and a downwardly extending sidewall () depending from a peripheral region of the centre panel and terminating with an inwardly or outwardly directed fold (), and a plurality of features () pressed into the sidewall at respective circumferentially spaced locations between said peripheral region and the fold, wherein the radial inward extent of the features is greater than that of the fold. The closure and the container body have relative dimensions to allow the features to pass over said curled edge during closure and to be retained beneath the curled edge to resist removal of the closure.
