Abstract

This document provides a container lid with structural reinforcing ribs. The ribs increase the lid's strength through a central region. Specifically, the lid may have an outer perimeter, and the ribs may be spaced inward from this outer perimeter. The inward-spacing ribs can provide a distinct appearance for consumer differentiation. Additionally, the ribs may be arched to generally follow a curve of the lid's outer perimeter. This preserves a labeling area within the lid's central region while still reinforcing the lid with ribs.
