A can end member (10) has a center panel (18), a circumferential chuck wall, and a transition wall. The center panel is centered about a longitudinal axis (50) and has a peripheral edge. The center panel also has a step portion located radially outwardly from the longitudinal axis. The step portion has an annular convex portion joined to an annular concave portion and displaces at least a portion of the center panel vertically in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis. The curl defines an outer perimeter of the end member. The circumferential chuck wall extends downwardly from the curl to the transition wall. The transition wall connects the chuck wall with the peripheral edge of the center panel. The transition wall comprises a folded portion. The folded portion has a first leg (56), a second leg (62), and a third leg (68). The first leg is directly connected to the chuck wall and joined to the second leg by a concave annular portion. The second leg is joined to the third leg by a convex annular portion, and the third leg is joined to the center panel. The convex annular portion has a radius of curvature greater than 0.002 ins. ® KIPO & WIPO 2007
