The invention includes a snap type plastic stopper having a closure shell with a roof wall and a tamper band to be secured on a bottle neck. The stopper includes a first weakness line with first bridges, where the first bridges separably link the bottom edge of the closure shell and the top edge of the tamper band; at least one hinge which extends through the first weakness line, where the hinge pivotably links the closure shell and the tamper band; and a tongue which is diametrically situated at the opposite of the hinge, where the tongue outwardly extends relative to a peripheral wall of the closure shell. The stopper also includes within the closure shell and/or tamper band at least one tamper evident feature such as a toggle.

Container closures for bottles, cans, tubs, etc. having a sloping or slanted flange on the container which matches a complementary flange on a closure cap. The flange is disposed at an angle of at least 10 degrees and a preferred angle of about 20 degrees for a conventional 63 mm closure and a preferred width of about 0.125 to 0.175 inches. A foil liner carried by the cap includes an induction heat activated adhesive on at least the portion thereof facing the complementary flange on the container for greatly increasing burst, vacuum and drop impact strength of the container because the adhesion is in shear rather than peel. Provision can be made for facilitating peeling of the liner to assist the consumer in opening the container. The liner may additionally be adhered to a horizontal surface of the container for further securing the liner thereto.
