A reclosing apparatus for reclosing an open container while still laden with contents, to inhibit spillage of the contents. The reclosing apparatus comprises a plate mounted about the central post of a container top for rotating between open and closed positions. The plate includes an axis bore for receiving the central post therethrough, and a sealing region for effecting a spill-resistant seal over the opening in the container top. The sealing region may include a seal depression and/or a seal ridge. When the reclosing apparatus is in the closed position, the seal depression protrudes through the opening, effecting at least a partial spill-resistant seal therewith. The seal ridge, if included, is formed in the plate to matingly align with a border ridge formed in the container top around the periphery of the opening. The reclosing apapratus optionally may also include a straw hole for withdrawing liquid contents while the opening is partly sealed, and a finger grip to aid in rotating the reclosing apparatus around the central post.
An apparatus for reclosing a container having a top with an opening therethrough, a circumferential channel disposed radially outward from the opening, and a central post, said apparatus comprising:
