    Abstract: A device for forming a closure, including first and second dies for cooperatively forming the closure. The dies come into mutual contact against both sides of an annular disc. The dies form a center hole and cooperatively operate to form a shoulder and skirt on the outer part of the closure. The annular center section and bridges are formed by action of a plurality of die stems which form a recessed dependent lip on the shoulder and which form frangible bridges connecting the lip to the central section.
