Abstract
The plastic bottle (1) is filled with liquid and provided with a rigid neck (4) that defines a narrow opening (5) with an inner diameter (D5) typically inferior to 40 mm. A flexible sheet-like cover member (C), having a lower closing element and an upper reinforcing element, is provided to seal the opening. A reinforcing portion (10) of the reinforcing element (C2) is directly fastened to a central portion (6) of the closing element in contact with the annular upper face (F) of the neck and reinforces this central portion. A first surface (S1) suitable for displaying label information is defined by the reinforcing portion. The outer rim (8) of the reinforcing element extends along or close to a rim (4d) of the face (F). An optional pull tab (9) forming part of the closing element (C1) and/or an extension portion forming part of the reinforcing element (C2) may be provided.
