[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A container assembly having a cover securely engageable to a container body:said cover comprising a radially-extending surface, a circumferential inner skirt and a circumferential outer skirt extending downwardly from a perimeter portion of said radially-extending surface, said outer skirt having a rib extending radially inwardly from said outer skirt toward said inner skirt;said container body having a wall having an upper edge portion fitting between said inner and outer skirts and a flange extending radially outwardly from said upper edge portion of said container body, said flange being positioned to be engageable with said rib on said outer skirt when said cover is applied to said container body between said skirts;wherein said flange has an outer diameter that is larger than the inner diameter of said outer skirt on said cover to create and maintain an interference which is greater than about 0.8% and up to about 1.5%,wherein said cover is thinner than said radially-extending surface and is stretchably deformable to insert the container body wall between said inner skirt and said outer skirt of said cover.
