ABSTRACT:
A tamper-evident cap and overcap including a cap with an upstanding cap portion and a lower base, the base defining a circumferential channel. An overcap is positioned to enclose the upstanding cap portion, with the overcap carrying a circumferential projection or skirt permanently retained in the circumferential channel, typically by force-fit. A frangible line of weakness permits separation of the overcap and the circumferential projection. At least the circumferential projection, and typically also the overcap, are of a color that contrasts with the color of the cap, so that, upon removal of the cap, the remaining edge of the circumferential projection gives an indication that the overcap has been removed.
