Abstract: A stamped and scored one-piece container lid with an integral push-in tear tab has a tab-defining score line formed with a bottom wall, an inclined first side wall and a second side wall opposite to the first side wall and which is upset onto the bottom wall and the lower portion of the first side wall forming a ring around the latter with the result that the tab is relatively easy to push in, but is able to withstand an appreciable outward force due to pressure inside the associated container.

Abstract: A stamped and scored one-piece container lid with an integral push-in tear tab has a ridge embossed in the tear tab and a push location to the rear of the ridge. When the push location is depressed, the tab tears along its score line and rotates into the container. The ridge prevents the user's digit from sliding along the declining tab through the opening in the lid left by the tab and possibly contacting the sharp edge thereof. Special indentations may be formed in the lid at or near the opposite ends of the score line which make it easier to depress the tab to produce a large effective pour opening in the lid.
