Abstract
A lid 1 for a container body 8 having a side wall 7 portion at one end of which an annular portion 9 extends at an obtuse angle to the side wall to define the mouth of the container. The lid has an elastically deformable central panel 2 and a peripheral annular flange 3 which extends downwardly and outwardly from the central panel to define a seal surface to co-operate with the annular portion 9 of the body. When adhered or fused together the inclined portion of the lid and body receive the stress, arising as a thermal processing increases the volume of product packed, as a load in shear peel force being minimized.
