A container such as a can of carbonated beverage, including an upwardly open metal body having a sidewall with an annular upper portion having a reduced-diameter neck formed therein, and a metal top structure such as a lid having an annular portion secured to the annular upper portion of the sidewall along an annular seam extending outwardly and substantially horizontally or downwardly, from the sidewall. The sidewall edge portion is formed into an outwardly projecting annular flange immediately above the neck, the annular lid portion overlies the annular flange, and the seam includes a metal member holding the annular peripheral lid portion and the annular flange together. The lid may be upwardly domed by internal pressure. A method of producing the container by filling it, adhesively bonding the lid to the flange, and forming the metal seam member.
