Abstract
A tamper-evident cap includes a cover and a collar. The cover is coupled to the collar by a plurality of connection tabs within a connection region between the cover and the collar when the tamper-evident cap is in an initial, closed configuration. The connection region includes a region of weakness extending along a partial circumferential arc of the connection region and a resistance region extending along a remainder circumferential arc of the connection region, the region of weakness having fewer connection tabs arranged therein than in the resistance region.
