Package with tamper evident security band

A method of manufacture of a consumer package comprising the steps of,

• producing a container having an upwardly extending side wall defining the inner horizontal cross section of said container and a container opening,
• said container further comprising a lip extending outwardly from said side wall at said container opening, said lip defining an outer lip perimeter,
• separately producing a closure lid designed to cover said container opening,
• separately producing a band preform comprising a frangible portion and further having structure and composition designed to be mechanically formed,
• said band comprising a first portion, said first portion having a terminal end which defines a perimeter greater than said outer lip perimeter such that said first portion can be applied over said lip without interference between said terminal end and said lip,
• filling the container with its contents,
• after filling the container, combining said band preform, lid, and filled container together to produce a filled and lidded container assembly wherein said closure lid covers said container opening and said band surrounds said lip,
• said filled and lidded container assembly being absent frangible connection between the band and the container,
• after said step of combining said band preform, lid and filled container together, mechanically forming said first portion of said band preform such that said first portion extends to overlap said container lip so that said frangible portion must be broken in order to allow removal of said band from said package and thereby allow said closure lid to be removed from said container,
• and wherein any mechanical forming of said band after said combining step is accomplished by forming tool movement which is absent a horizontal component relative to said inner container horizontal cross section.
