In one embodiment the lid is adapted to reseal the container after it is separated from the container engaging member by turning the lid upside down and positioning it such that the annular skirt engages the container engaging member and the end wall covers at least a portion of the opening of the container. In another embodiment, the lid is also adapted to reseal the container after it is separated from the container engaging member by positioning the lid such that the annular skirt engages the container engaging member and the end wall covers at least a portion of the opening of the container. The invention also includes a stackable container having the closure described above.
