A metallic overcap with latches that is configured to reseal a packaging body after the packaging body is opened, the metallic overcap comprising:
- a sheet metal disc with a plurality of locking segments on an edge thereof, the locking segments are formed by a stamping process, the locking segments have rounded edges, and the edge of the sheet metal disc further includes flattened edges between the rounded edges of the locking segments, the locking segments and the flattened edges do not circumferentially overlap one another, the flattened edges are radially inwardly facing, and the sheet metal disc further includes a reinforcement on an upper surface thereof adjacent to the edge,
- each one of the locking segments includes a first end and a second end, and each first end and each second end are spaced a same distance from the upper surface;
- each one of the locking segments includes an upper edge that extends from the first end to the second end thereof, and each upper edge is a constant distance from the upper surface;
- and
- each one of the locking segments includes a bottom edge that extends from the first end to the second end thereof, and each bottom edge is a constant distance from the upper surface;
- wherein when the metallic overcap is fitted onto the packaging body, the rounded edges of the locking segments and the reinforcement frictionally engage with the packaging body.
