A vacuum-indicating closure includes a top wall 12 and a skirt 14 depending from the periphery of the skirt with a tamper-evident band 24 formed on the lower edge of the skirt. The top wall has a center deflectable portion 30 formed by a thinned circumferential hinge 32 and the deflectable portion is divided into pie-shaped segments 44 by a plurality of radially-extending thinned hinged 40. The center deflectable portion is moved between a convex position and a concave position with the presence or absence of vacuum within the container to which it is applied.

A vacuum-indicating closure comprising a top wall adapted to extend across and provide a seal for neck finish of a container and a skirt extending downwardly from a periphery of said top wall and having a member for securing said closure, the improvement comprising means defining a deflectable center portion in said top wall, said deflectable center portion having radially-extending thinned portions to divide said center portion into segments joined to each other by said thinned portions so that said center portion moves between a generally outward convex configuration to a generally concave configuration depending upon the presence or absence of vacuum in the container.
