Abstract
A tamper evident container with a dispensing closure is disclosed. The patent deals with a container having a smooth neck portion and having a removable dispenser closure mounted on the neck portion. The closure, in turn, is formed with a top, a skirt depending from the top and a dispensing lid mounted on the top. The top has a dispensing orfice in it which communicates with the interior of the container. The lid is moveable from a position closing the dispensing orifice to a position opening the dispenser orifice. A tamper evident neck wrap is mounted on the container over the skirt and the lid which prevents the dispensing lid from being moved to an open position without tearing or breaking the neck wrap to show the container has opened.
