Abstract (en)

A lid (1) for a container (2) comprises a rim (11) having a substantially inverted U-shape. The rim comprises an outer flange (12) and an inner flange (13) separated by a top section (14). A tab (15) extends substantially in the plane of the lid away from the rim. The outer flange (12) of the rim is provided with a weakening line (16) which extends substantially parallel to the plane of the lid between the tab (15) and the top section (14). Both the outer flange (12) and the inner flange (13) are designed for sealing against a rim or other part of the container. The distance between the top section (14) of the rim and the weakening line (16) is between one third and two thirds of the distance between the top section (14) of the rim and the tab (15). In addition, a sealing flange (17) may extend from the top section (14) of the rim between the outer flange (12) and the inner flange (13).
