Abstract: A one-piece closure includes first and second closure portions. The first closure portion includes a top wall portion and an annular skirt portion. The skirt portion includes an internal thread formation and a first frangible connection that partially detachably connects sections of the skirt portion. The second closure portion includes a tamper-evident band that is partially detachably connected to the skirt portion by a second frangible connection. When the first and second frangible connections are broken, a tethered bridge is exposed. The tethered bridge is attached to a portion of the first and second closure portions and extends from about 5 to about 60 degrees around the circumference of the closure. The frangible connections extend from about 300 to about 355 degrees around the circumference of the closure.
