Abstract: Disclosed is a metal bottle seal that is disposed on the curl of the metal bottle. The bottle seal may be held in place by crimping of the curl. In addition, adhesive may be used to hold the bottle seal on the curl. Adhesives can be used that fill discontinuities that may exist in the curl as a result of substantial drawing and ironing of the metal. Further, the metal bottle seal can be made of a material or laminated with a material that is soft enough to fill the discontinuities. The seal can be preformed as a continuous annulus for easy application to the top of the metal bottle. The metal bottle seal can also be used in conjunction with a cap seal to ensure an adequate and reliable seal.

Abstract: A two piece container having a hidden peripheral seam is described. The seam between the upper portion and the lower portion of the container is formed of mating flanges on the upper and lower portions of the container and it is effectively hidden from view by placing the seam at the base of the neck in containers having a relatively long slender neck above a relatively larger diameter main body portion or by placing the seam immediately below a relatively larger diameter shoulder near the base of the upper section of the container so that the seam is visually obscured by the shoulder section. Other complimentary decoration and finishing techniques for reducing the visibility of the seam on such a container are also described.
