Abstract

Disclosed is a closure arrangement for a can of the type which comprises a tubular body (10) having an open upper end (13) provided with a seat (16); and a plastic lid (20) comprising a sealing portion (21) and an axially breakable seal (25) formed by a lower skirt (25a) to be seated around the upper end (13) of the tubular body (10), and an upper edge (25b) internally incorporated to the sealing portion (21) by means of breakable radial bridges (26). The upper end (13) of the tubular body (10) presents a cross section contour that is substantially smaller than the largest cross section contour of the remainder of the tubular body (10), so that the contour of the lid (20) is maintained internal to said largest cross section contour of the tubular body (10), avoiding the mutual contact of the lids (20) of two adjacent cans disposed side by side.
