Abstract: A lid from paper, paperboard or paper-like material for a container, wherein the lid is produced from an integral planar blank and has a lid plate and a lid collar. The lid collar proceeds from a periphery of the lid plate, and the lid collar is formed from at least two plies of the planar blank. A first ply of the lid collar, proceeding from the periphery of the lid plate, extends to a periphery of the lid collar, and wherein a second ply of the lid collar, from the periphery of the lid collar, on a radially inner side of the lid collar extends to a periphery of the second ply of the lid collar. The periphery of the second ply of the lid collar at least in portions is received in a groove in the region of the periphery of the lid plate.
