The invention relates to a laminate liner for sealingly engaging a container in an associated container and closure assembly. The liner can include at least first, second, third, and fourth layers, respectively, and have a thickness between 0.0060-0.0120 inches. The first and bottom layer, can comprise a plastic polymeric material, and have a thickness between 0.0005-0.0015 inches. The second layer can comprise a metallic material and have a thickness between 0.0005-0.0010 inches. The third layer can comprise a chip board material, and have a thickness between 0.0045-0.0055 inches. The third layer can prevent the liner from curling or defoiming from its preferably flat shape. The fourth and top layer can comprise a plastic polymeric material and have a thickness between 0.0005-0.0015 inches. An adhesive bonding layer, having a thickness between 0.0003-0.0005 inches, can be located between first, second, third, and fourth layers, to bond adjacent layers together.

A closure comprises a polymeric top wall portion, a polymeric annular skirt portion, a polymeric liner and a polymeric disc. The polymeric annular skirt portion depends from the polymeric top wall portion. The annular skirt portion includes an internal thread formation for mating engagement with an external thread formation of a container. The polymeric disc has an exterior surface. The polymeric disc is located between the polymeric top wall portion and the polymeric liner. The polymeric disc includes a plurality of channels formed therein. The plurality of channels assists in allowing liquid to travel on the exterior surface of the polymeric disc and between the polymeric annular skirt portion and an external finish of a container.

To provide a container and a package configured to prevent a deformation of housed metal. According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided the container. This container includes a cylindrical container body, a lid, and a flat plate-shaped inner plug. The cylindrical container body with a bottom has a sidewall and a bottom wall. The lid has a flat plate portion and a side portion. The flat plate portion covers an opening of the container body. The side portion covers at least a part of an outer peripheral surface of the container body. The flat plate-shaped inner plug is located inside the lid. The container body includes a thread ridge on the outer peripheral surface. The side portion of the lid has a screw groove with two or more threads on its inner peripheral surface. The lid is configured to be screwed with the container body by screwing the screw groove with the thread ridge. A plurality of lock portions are disposed on an outer periphery of the lid. The screw groove has the threads by a count identical to a count of the lock portions. The inner plug is held to an inside of the lid by each of the lock portions fitted into each inside of the screw grooves.

A cap for a container having a pair of side walls each with an inner wall surface, each inner wall surface having two ribs distributed thereon for retention of a liner. Each of the two ribs has a concave arc with a concave radius of curvature forming a curved portion of the inner wall, and a convex arc. Each of the two ribs has a different overall configuration that facilitates removal, and securing onto, of the cap from/to the container without damage of the ribs and with the retention of the liner in the cap.
