TOP-TABBED SEALING MEMBER FOR A CONTAINER AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME

摘要

A sealing member (10) having a sealing membrane (20) and an improved grip tab arrangement (30) for use with containers (60) having an opening defined by a rim. The tab structure can be extrusion coated directly onto the sealing membrane eliminating the need for an adhesive layer between the membrane and the tab. In one embodiment, the sealing member (10) is non-metallic, polymeric laminate, and the sealing member includes a pressure activated adhesive (50) for bonding to the container (60) without the use of induction heating. Also disclosed are containers sealed with the inventive sealing members and methods of making such sealing members.
