PCT No. PCT/JP97/02116 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 4, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 4, 1999 PCT Filed Jun. 20, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/48610 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 24, 1997The object is to provide a lid (11) that does not cause environmental pollution. The lid (11) comprises a lid body (12) formed of a plastic sheet and a pull-cap (14) formed of a plastic sheet. The lid body (12) covers a top end opening of a cylindrical container body (15) and has an opening-for-drinking (16). The pull-cap (14) has a sealing portion (20) for covering the opening-for-drinking (16) of the lid body (12) and for sealing the periphery of the opening-for-drinking (16), and a pull-tab portion (21) formed integrally with the sealing portion (20). The sealing portion (20) has an easy-to-peel layer. A holding groove portion is formed in the lid body (12) at a location different from the location of the opening-for-drinking (16), and a pull-cap holding section for holding the pull-cap (14) peeled off is formed at the holding groove portion. Since the pull-cap (14) can be held by the pull-cap holing section after it is peeled off, the pull-cap (14) is not likely to be thrown away carelessly after the pull-cap (14) is peeled off the lid body (12) to open the beverage container.
