Abstract
A dispensing closure lid having a tear-away tab for use with a container. The tab itself is configured with an outwardly extending grasping member. The pull tab is defined by a distinct sequence of slits and perforations. The slits have a greater length than the perforations. The specific sequence of slits and perforations facilitates removal of the tab from the container mouth and provides for a clean separation of the tab from the land surface of the container and the remaining lid without tearing into the lid.
