ABSTRACT:
A tamper indicating package comprising a container having a neck with an external thread and a closure comprising a base wall and a peripheral skirt having an internal thread engaging the thread on the container. The closure includes a tamper indicating band connected to the free edge of the skirt along a weakened line and having an internal bead adapted to engage an annular rib on the neck of the container below the threads. The tamper indicating band includes indicia which is contrasting to any indicia on the closure such that when the closure is removed from the container and reapplied to the container, the absence of the indicia on the bottom of the closure will indicate that the tamper indicating band has been severed from its attached relationship to the closure.
