In a container and closure assembly, there is a resilient seal between the two components and the resiliency of the seal determines the normal relative closed positions of the closure and container. When the assembly is included within a stack, there is movement of the closure in the closing direction further to compress the seal. To prevent over-compression of the seal, opposed movement limiting surfaces are provided upon the closure and container, these surfaces being slightly spaced normally, but closing together to take loads directly from closure to container and thus avoid overloading the seal, when the assembly is located in a stack.
