<p>An apparatus and method for opening a vial lid with respect to its respective container include the lid (92) having a tamper evident tape applied over a top surface of the lid with the ends of the tape being adhered against the outer side walls of the vial container below a juncture of the lid and the container outer wall. The tape has a score on each side in the area adjacent to the juncture. The apparatus includes a device (34) for opening the lid by lifting the lid with respect to the container by a sufficient elevation to ensure that the tape score is substantially completely separated. A second device (150) places a downwardly depending flange of the lid in an overlapped position with respect to an upper end wall of the container after the lid has been opened.</p> |
