Abstract
A tamper indicating package comprising a container having a neck finish with a large opening and threads on the exterior thereof, and an annular bead spaced axially from the threads and away from the open end of the container and a plastic closure having a top wall and a peripheral skirt formed with interrupted threads adapted to engage the threads on the container and an integral tamper indicating band on the periphery of the skirt connected thereto by an internal groove which defines a weakened line and having an interrupted radially extending bead adapted to engage the bead on the container. The bead on the tamper indicating band is interrupted along the same axial plane as the threads on the skirt so that the tamper indicating band is without a bead in substantially the same areas as the portions of the skirt are without threads.
