The overcap (10) comprises a cap portion (4) having a top transverse surface (6) and an adjacent short cylindrical skirt (8), a cylindrical jacket portion (2) adjacent to said skirt (8) of the cap portion (4) and a weakening line (20) between said two portions (2, 4) of the overcap (10), wherein apart from the weakening line (20) the overcap (10) has a smooth or embossed surface. The weakening line (20) is a circumferential line of the overcap (10) having at least a compressed line part and a slit (30, 35), the weakening line (20) surrounds the bottle neck (50) and runs at least partly perpendicular to the centre line (15), wherein the slit (30, 35) has a length and a width that allows the introduction of a knife blade (63) or a fingernail (65).
