Abstract

A container lid for a container, the lid having a wall to fit around an upper end of the container, a sealing ridge or retention ridge within the wall to interengage with the upper end of the container, a stop shoulder within the lid, to abut against the top edge of the container, an upstanding inverted channel extending inwardly from the shoulder, and extending upwardly there from, and a downwardly dependent inner wall extending from the channel, a transverse junction wall extending from the lower end of the inner wall, a generally vertical wall extending downwardly from the transverse wall, and a closure panel extending across the closure, from the downwardly dependent wall, and, a label retention lip formed integrally with the container lid and extending at a generally inward angle from the conjunction between the inner wall and the downwardly dependent wall, in which a label may be inserted and in which the lip defines a predetermined spacing from the upper surface of the ridge, so as to protect the lip, and a container having a lid with the foregoing features.
