Abstract
In combination, a container and a linerless cap and a method of forming the cap. The cap includes plastic and has a sealing surface which is softer than contiguous plastic portions as a result of its method of forming which includes stretching. In the method the cap is molded from plastic and includes a top wall, an outer depending skirt and an internal depending substantially annular wall having an upper end integral with and depending from the top wall and a lower free end. Thereafter the free end is engaged by a forming tool to progressively turn the free end away from the internal wall to create a stretched intermediate portion for sealing which is softer than its contiguous portions.
