A reinforced finish is on a blow-molded container. An insert is permanently attached on the finish of a preform from which the container is blown, or directly on the finish of the blow-molded container. The insert is ring-shaped, forms a portion of the top surface of the finish, is made from a rigid plastic material, and is positioned entirely above the threads.
