ABSTRACT:
A plastic lid for a container comprises a lid body and an annular, peripheral gripping flange for retaining the lid on the container. In accordance with this invention, the flange defines at least a pair of spaced, circumferential sections, each section having opposed ends which each define a break-away flange portion. Each spaced section defines means permitting outward folding of the section upon breaking away of the connected break-away flange portions to facilitate opening. Alternatively, the gripping flange may define a zigzag tear line for removal of spaced, enlarged portions of the gripping flange to facilitate opening, while permitting remaining portions of the gripping flange to provide some retention of the lid to its container.
