Abstract
Abstract A removable liner structure for a crown closure consists of a sandwich wherein printed matter is contained between two layers constituting the sandwich. The inside of the rigid shell of the crown is provided with a varnish coat followed by an adherence coating in the area of the skirt. This is then followed by the sandwich structure constituting the removable liner with the indicia between the two layers forming the sandwich. A ringseal is then provided over the sandwich.
