<p>Tamper-evident closures are known in which the tamper-evidence remains attached to the closures after initial opening. However, the tamper-evidence is not always that clear and therefore it is desirable to produce a closure which more clearly shows it has been initially opened. This may be achieved by having a tamper-evident closure (10,110,310,410,510) comprising a base (20,320,420,520), a lid (25,325,425,525), a dispensing member (140,340,440,540), and a tamper-evident member (30,130,230,330,430,530) which is visible prior to first opening of the closure in use, and upon first opening of the closure becomes at least partly hidden from view, wherein, prior to first opening of the closure in use, the tamper-evident member masks at least part of the dispensing member, and upon first opening of the closure reveals at least part of the dispensing member whereby to indicate the closure has been opened at least once. The dispensing member may have a different colour from the base and/or lid to more clearly show that the closure has been initially opened and reclosed.</p> |
