This application discloses a metallic convenience closure of the full panel tear out type for a container body, in which the closure upstanding side wall which perimetrically surrounds the central closure panel is provided with an inwardly extending protective bead. This bead is spaced above and extends generally parallel to the closure central panel. The score line which circumscribes the removable portion of the closure panel is located entirely radially outwardly of the bead, and therefore the sharp edge which is formed along such score line when the removable portion is removed is in non-cutting relationship with the hand of a person manually emptying the contents of the associated container. The closure is provided with a removal tab, the nose of which is located in the space between the closure panel and the protective bead. The protective bead also serves to radially stiffen the associated container, and a closure with such bead may be used to particular advantage with a semi-rigid container body, e.g., a composite, laminated container body deriving its strength principally from one or more cylindrically wound fiberboard plys or laminations.
