Abstract

A membrane lid (30) having a recessed ring pull tab (34). The membrane lids comprises a permanently deformable layer (e.g., metal foil or thin sheet metal) having a disk portion (32) and a tab (34) projecting from the outer periphery of the disk portion. The tab is folded back onto the upper surface of the disk portion. A region of the disk portion underlying the folded-back tab defines a depression (40) and the tab (34) is folded back such that it is recessed within the depression. A sealing material is provided on the lower surface of the membrane lid for sealing the lid to a metal ring (20) of a container.
