ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a cover for a container for food, for example, popcorn. The container has a rim on which is sealed an expandable foil cover. A paperboard cover overlies this foil cover and is held in place by a flange on the rim which is bent over or crimped onto the pressboard. The cover has a removable central portion, e.g., formed by concentric half-cut sores, and an annular portion, which is crimped between the flange and the rim. The cover has a pull tab extending beyond this annular portion and the concentric half-cut scores curve up to the pull tab. The pull tab can be folded over on a press core and crimped under the flange. The annular portion comprises an inner and outer zone, the outer one of which comprises a plurality of tabs projecting from the inner zone. These tabs may have different shapes, for example, they are preferably arcuate so as to give the outer zone a scalloped appearance. A wire handle may be provided, having a circular portion which overlies the tabs and if fastened to the rim when the flange is crimped.
