Abstract: The invention is a twist-off closure cap and container assembly that provides the advantages of a tamper-indicating pilfer band with the attractive appearance of a metal crown cap. The closure cap is an overlay having a bright, metallic sheen and the coloration of brass or burnished steel. A printed design or logo reminiscent of a crown metal beer of soft drink cap may be printed on the overlay. The container is provided with an annular bulge that complements the pilfer ring of the closure cap. The closure cap also includes corrugated depressions, internal helical grooves and frangible bridging elements for detachably connecting the closure cap with the pilfer band. The pilfer band includes an interference lip that engages with a locking ring on the container so that when the closure cap is rotated with respect to the container the pilfer band stays with the container.
