ABSTRACT:
A plastic container and closure are provided which may be repeatedly snapped together. The closure has an outer skirt and an inner concentric flange providing a channel to receive a container rim. A plurality of ribs having lower edges extending inward from the inner flange and at depth to contact and cam the container rim toward the channel and prevent the container rim from catching on the closure flange during an automatic capping operation. A tear strip on the container sidewall is located adjacent the lower edge of the closure skirt thereby preventing access to the lower edge of the closure skirt without destructive removal of the tear strip. A radially outwardly extending strip at the lower end of the container spaces the outer surface of the container sidewall, which may bear a label, from any flat supporting surface when the container is laid on its side to prevent damage to the label.
