The tabbed sealing member of claim 1, wherein, after heat sealing, the polymer foam layer has concentric stability where the structural integrity of the polymer foam layer remains substantially consistent at its periphery relative to a portion of the polymer foam layer radially inward from the periphery. 15. A container and cap assembly including a tabbed sealing member with foam for sealing to a rim surrounding an opening of the container, the assembly comprising: a container with a rim surrounding an opening thereof;a cap for closing the opening of the container;a multi-layer laminate including an upper laminate portion with one or more layers and partially bonded to a lower laminate portion forming a gripping tab defined wholly within a perimeter of the sealing member, the multi-layer laminate bonded to the container rim;the lower laminate portion below the gripping tab including at least a seal layer for bonding to the container rim, a metal layer for heating the seal layer, and a polymer foam layer above the metal layer;a non-foam polymer sub-tab layer between the lower laminate and the gripping tab; andthe non-foam polymer sub-tab layer coextensive with at least the gripping tab at its periphery thereof, the non-foam polymer sub-tab layer not bonded to the gripping tab. 16. The assembly of claim 15, wherein an inner surface of the cap includes a downwardly extending bead substantially aligned with the container rim. 17. A laminate for forming a tabbed sealing member for sealing to a rim surrounding a container opening, the laminate comprising: a multi-layer laminate including an upper laminate portion with one or more layers and partially bonded to a lower laminate portion forming a gripping tab when the laminate is formed into the tabbed sealing member;the lower laminate portion including at least a heat seal layer for bonding to the container rim after the laminate is formed into the tabbed sealing member, a metal layer for heating the heat seal layer, and a polymer foam layer above the metal layer;a non-foam polymer sub-tab layer positioned between at least a portion of the lower laminate and the upper laminate, the non-foam polymer sub-tab layer not bonded to the gripping tab. 18. The laminate of claim 17, further comprising a tab stock polymer layer extending partway across the laminate further defining the gripping tab, the tab stock polymer layer bonded to one of the layers in the upper laminate portion and not bonded to the lower laminate portion. 19. The laminate of claim 18, wherein the non-foam polymer sub-tab layer is bonded to the polymer foam layer and not bonded to the tab stock polymer layer. 20. The laminate of claim 18, wherein the upper laminate portion includes a heat-activated bonding layer that is partially bonded to the non-foam polymer sub-tab layer and partially bonded to the tab stock polymer layer. 21. The laminate of claim 20, wherein the heat-activated bonding layer is selected from the group consisting of ethylene acrylic acid copolymers, curable two-part urethane adhesives, epoxy adhesives, ethylene methacrylate copolymers and mixtures thereof. 22.
