Abstract (en)

The invention relates to the technical field of pull-tabs that are typically used in the packaging industry for application to lids. The invention provides a pull-tab 1 that is producible at reduced costs while having a sufficient mechanical strength for its purpose. Physical harm to a consumer caused by the pull-tab carrier is avoided. The tab 1 is configured 21 to be attached to a lid of a container. The pull-tab has a grip portion 10 and a front portion 20. The pull-tab 1 is formed from a portion of a sheet of metal s, the sheet having a thickness. The grip portion 10 has a hole, configured for allowing a finger to pass through. The hole is at least partially surrounded by a gripping edge 12 of the grip portion. The grip portion 10 is adjacent to the front portion 20 of the pull-tab along a length axis L thereof.
