The flange is formed from a plurality of inner flange panels 114, 116 and one or more outer flange panels 118, 120 wherein each outer flange 118, 120 panels overlies at least part of each inner flange panel 114, 116 to provide a flat surface that is continuous around the container opening. A separate closure means can be bonded to the flange. The flange may either be provided around the outside or inside of the container opening with each outer flange panel 118, 120 preferably being joined to the inner flange panels 114, 116 by a fold line.
