Container lid and container

A container lid for a container having an open upper end, the lid comprising:

• an outer wall adapted to fit around an upper end of a container;
• a stop shoulder extending radially inwardly from said container wall within said lid, adapted to abut against a top edge of a container, said stop shoulder being located at an upper end of said lid outer wall, lying in a plane spaced above the plane of said closure panel, and said stop shoulder being formed within said lid outer wall, and lying in a plane substantially coplanar with said closure panel;
• a sealing ridge in the lid spaced downwardly from the stop shoulder, and registering substantially with the outer wall of the closure;
• an upstanding inverted channel formation extending inwardly from said shoulder, and extending upwardly therefrom, and providing a rigid load bearing channel surface, including a downwardly dependent inner wall forming an angled shape in section;
• a ledge portion between the outer wall and the outer side of the inverted channel;
• a transverse junction wall extending from the lower end of said inner wall;
• a vertical wall extending downwardly from said transverse wall;
• a closure panel extending across said closure from said vertical wall;
• and
• a label retention lip formed integrally with said container lid and extending at an inward angle from the junction of said transverse wall and said vertical wall, in which a label is insertable within said lip and lies upon said closure panel, and wherein said lip defines a predetermined spacing from said load bearing surface of said channel to protect said lip.

A container with a re-sealable lid comprising:

• a container having a side wall, a bottom wall, and an open top;
• a lid having an outer wall fitting around an upper end of the container;
• a stop shoulder extending radially inwardly from said container wall within said lid to abut against a top edge of said container, said stop shoulder being located at an upper end of said lid outer wall, lying in a plane spaced above the plane of said closure panel, and said stop shoulder being formed within said lid wall and lying in a plane substantially coplanar with said closure panel;
• a sealing ridge in the lid spaced downwardly from the stop shoulder, and registering substantially with the outer wall of the closure;
• an upstanding inverted channel formation extending inwardly from said shoulder, and extending upwardly there from, and providing a rigid load bearing channel surface, including a downwardly dependent inner wall forming an angled shape in section;
• a ledge portion between the outer wall and the outer side of the inverted channel;
• a transverse junction wall extending from the lower end of said inner wall;
• a vertical wall extending downwardly from said transverse wall;
• a closure panel extending across said closure from said vertical wall;
• and
• a label retention lip formed integrally with said container lid and extending at an inward angle from the junction between said transverse wall and said vertical wall, in which a label is insertable within said lip and lies upon said closure panel, and wherein said lip defines a predetermined spacing from said load bearing surface of said channel to protect said lip.
