Abstract: A tamper-evident package with pressurized contents which includes a closure and associated container which cooperate to provide desired tamper-evidence upon initial removal of the closure from the container, while promoting convenient and comfortable removal and use by consumers.

Abstract: A tamper-evident package having pressurized contents includes a closure and associated container which cooperate to provide desired tamper-evidence upon initial removal of the closure from the container, while promoting convenient and comfortable removal and use by consumers. In particular, the package is configured such that from a fully applied position of the closure on the container, the closure is movable through a predetermined angle prior to actuation of the tamper-evident feature on the package. In this fashion, the torque which must be applied to the closure for overcoming the static friction at the sealing interface between the closure and the container can be overcome prior to the application of torque required for operating the tamper-evident feature of the package. The present invention contemplates enhancing the opening performance of the package by configuring the package to include certain structure features to facilitate convenient, consistent, and comfortable use by consumers.
