The tamper indicating seal of claim 1, wherein the lower laminate is free of foamed polymers. 3. The tamper indicating seal of claim 1, wherein the foamed polymer layer is about 2.5 to about 5 mils thick and has a density of about 0.6 to about 0.9 g/ml. 4. The tamper indicating seal of claim 1, wherein the foamed polymer layer is a foamed polyolefin. 5. The tamper indicating seal of claim 1, wherein the one or more polymer support layers includes a first non-foam polymer layer bonded to an upper surface of the foamed polymer layer and a second non-foam polymer layer bonded to a lower surface of the foamed polymer layer. 6. The tamper indicating seal of claim 5, wherein the first and second non-foam polymer layers each have a density of about 1 g/ml or greater. 7. The tamper indicating seal of claim 1, wherein the one or more polymer support layers is selected from the group consisting of polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene napthalate, polyamides, polypropylenes, or a combination thereof. 8. The tamper indicating seal of claim 1, wherein the bonding layer is selected from the group consisting of ethylene vinyl acetate, polyolefins, 2-component polyurethane, ethylene acrylic acid copolymers, curable two part urethane adhesives, epoxy adhesives, and ethylene methacrylate copolymers. 9. A tamper indicating tabbed sealing member for sealing to a rim of a container, the tamper indicating tabbed sealing member comprising: a lower laminate including a heat sealable layer and an induction heating layer, the lower laminate configured for heat sealing the tamper indicating tabbed sealing member to a container rim;an upper laminate at least partially bonded to the lower laminate to form a gripping tab defined within a perimeter of the lower laminate, the upper laminate including a foamed polymer layer, one or more polymer support layers bonded to the foamed polymer layer, and a bonding layer forming the at least partial bond between the upper laminate and the lower laminate;the lower laminate and the upper laminate have a construction to permit tearing the lower laminate across a major surface thereof in response to a removal force applied to the gripping tab such that a first portion of the lower laminate including the heat sealable layer and the induction heating layer remains bonded to a container rim and a second portion of the lower laminate including the heat sealable layer and the induction heating layer remains bonded the upper laminate and removed from the container rim together with the upper laminate; andwherein a tear strength of the upper laminate and the bond of the upper laminate to the lower laminate is greater than a tear strength of the lower laminate such that, when bonded to a container rim, the upper laminate remains in one piece and the lower laminate tears upon a removal force applied to the gripping tab. 10. The tamper indicating seal of claim 1, further comprising a tab stock positioned between the upper laminate and the lower laminate and extending partially therebetween, the tab stock bonded to the upper laminate but not bonded to the lower laminate to form the gripping tab. 11. The tamper indicating seal of claim 1, wherein the lower laminate includes a membrane layer and the upper laminate including the foamed polymer layer has a construction permitting the membrane layer to be visible from an upper surface of the upper laminate. 12. The tamper indicating seal of claim 1, wherein the total thickness of the upper laminate is about 3 to about 7 mils and a thickness of the foamed polymer layer is about 2 to about 5 mils. 13. The tamper indicating seal of claim 1, wherein the upper laminate has a thickness of about 6 mils of less and a tear strength which is greater than a tear strength of the lower laminate to promote tearing of the lower laminate upon a removal force applied to the gripping tab. 14. A tamper indicating tabbed sealing member for sealing to a rim of a container, the tamper indicating tabbed sealing member comprising: a lower laminate including a heat sealable layer and a foil layer, the lower laminate configured for heat sealing the tamper indicating tabbed sealing member to a container rim, the lower laminate free of polymers having a density greater than 1 g/ml;an upper laminate at least partially bonded to the lower laminate to form a gripping tab defined within a perimeter of the lower laminate, the upper laminate including a foamed polymer layer, a one or more polymer layers bonded to the foamed polymer layer, and a bonding layer forming the at least partial bond between the upper laminate and the lower laminate; andthe lower laminate and the upper laminate have a construction to permit tearing of the lower laminate across a major surface thereof in response to a removal force applied to the gripping tab such that a first portion of the lower laminate including the heat sealable layer and the foil layer remains bonded to a container rim and a second portion of the lower laminate including the heat sealable layer and the foil layer remains bonded the upper laminate and removed from the container rim together with the upper laminate. 15. The tamper indicating seal of claim 14, wherein the lower laminate is free of foamed polymers. 16.
