Closure with folded-up tamper evident band

摘要

Disclosed is a closure (30), a container/closure (30) combination, a mould, a method of attaching a closure (30) and a method for forming a closure (30). Tamper evident closures indicate to a consumer if a container has been previously opened. The closure (30) comprises a top portion (11), a skirt portion (12) and a tamper evident band (33). The skirt portion (12) depends from the top portion (11). The top (11) and skirt (12) portions define a cavity. The tamper evident band (33) is joined to the skirt portion (12) by one or more frangible connectors. The tamper evident band (33) comprises a first portion (35) extending away from the skirt portion (12). The tamper evident band (33) further comprises a second portion (36) hingedly connected to the first portion (35) and moveable between a first mouldable orientation and at least a second operable orientation. The second portion (36) comprises a plurality of curved undercuts extending at least partially into the cavity when in the operable orientation.
