A container having a pull tab secured to a scored removable section. A pivot member, metal or plastic, is pivotally riveted at one end to the container top. The other end of the member overlies the removable section inner and is attached to it by riveting, welding or gluing. When the pull tab is used to tear the removable section from the top, it remains attached to the pivot member and can be swung to one side to permit pouring or drinking from the opening. In a resealable container having a central air opening and a peripheral pouring opening, a plastic closure extends over and is bonded to the scored portions of both openings. The plastic closure is pivotally riveted to the top between the openings and is provided with a pull tab at each end. When the tabs are pulled toward each other both openings will be opened and the closure can be pivoted at right angles to expose them for pouring. The closure can then be swung back over the openings and pressed in to close them again. A seal may be provided to indicate that the container has been opened and resealed. This resealable construction can also be used with a single opening.
