A thin-walled, wide mouth molded plastic container is provided with a tamper evident band initially molded as a straight-walled cylinder spaced outwardly of the lip of the container and connected thereto by a frangible horizontal bridge. The upper edge of the cylindrical band extends above the level of the container lip. Subsequent to molding and preferably before capping, the band is curled inward by application of a curling tool. The container lid is axially applied, the outer edge of the lid displacing the curled band outward. The resilience of the band and bridge permits outward deflection and immediate restoration of the curl to its initial position. The curl prevents removal of the lid without fracture of the bridge and removal of the tamper-evident band.

[ What is claimed is:] [8.] A plastic container comprising a body having an open end and a lip portion surrounding said open end, said lip portion having an outward extending surface and having an uppermost edge,a plastic band formed of a curlable material spaced outward of said body vicinal said open end, at least a portion of said band being opposed to said body,a plurality of circumferentially spaced frangible connections frangibly attaching said band to said lip portion of said body below said outward extending surface,said band having a distal portion deformable to an inward extending orientation directly opposed to and spaced from said outward extending surface, said band being deformed and said distal portion of said band curling downward-inward in a curled portion, said curled portion having a terminal lowermost edge directly opposed to and spaced above said uppermost edge. .Iaddend..Iadd.
