A lid for a packaging container which include a tear-open part which is surrounded by a weakened line. The lid is molded of a composite material, which has an outer carrier layer of plastic, a middle barrier layer of metal foil and an inner heat-sealing layer of a thermoplastic synthetic material. The weakened line is produced as an indentation in the outer carrier layer by being heat-impressed using a heated tool.
