Abstract: A container and lid combination in which the lid is removable from the container to open the container and it is replaceable to close the container. The container has a body with a mouth including a strip of annular extent secured to the lid. The body has an annular weakening notch in the vicinity of the strip and the container is separable at the notch to separate a part of the container mouth and the lid together with the strip from the body of the container. The notch is positioned radially inwards of the strip and upon rupture of the notch separate parts are formed which can be reengaged upon replacement of the lid on the container. Locating surfaces are provided on the lid and container for establishing a determined oriented position of replacement of the lid on the body of the container.
