A lightweight, crimp-type crown cap for application to a glass beverage bottle, comprises a shell formed of a material comprising steel tinplate. The shell includes a round panel having an upper surface, a lower surface and a peripheral edge. A skirt depends downwardly from the peripheral edge of the panel, the skirt having fewer than 21 corrugations, wherein the corrugations are adapted to be crimped to affix the crown cap to a rim of a bottle opening. A circular groove is formed in the panel, defining a downwardly concave portion on the upper surface of the panel and a corresponding downwardly convex portion on the lower surface of the panel, and the circular groove is arranged to align with the rim of the bottle. A liner is disposed on the lower surface of the panel. |
