Abstract
An opening device for a packaging container comprises a neck portion and a screw cap. The opening device comprises a wall of the first part of the screw cap being with a weakening extending in a circumferential direction of the first part and a recess extending in a longitudinal center axis direction of the first part. The recess is arranged to receive a projection of the neck portion, which projection is directly injection-molded in the recess. A tamper flap of the first part, which tamper flap is defined by the weakening and the recess, is automatically deformable in connection with a first time opening of the packaging container by cap rotation.
