ABSTRACT A tamper evident closure and package having a container (10), a resealable, substantially rigid closure (12) for closing, opening and reclosing the container (10), color changing means (32a in Figures 1-6) which effect a color change upon stretching, and coacting mechanical means (24, 36, 44 and 46 in Figures 1-6) for uncapping and recapping the closure 10 and for stretching the color changing means (32a) which clearly and unequiv- ocally indicate the condition of the package, e.g., open or closed. Where legends, or other well defined indicia, indicating opening is desired, the color changes can be localized in the skirt by providing thin sections (32a) which stretch preferentially and adjacent thicker sections (38) which remain substantially unstretched. The thin sections (32a) for example can be a legend, or alterna- tively the thick sections (38) can be the legend while the thin sections (32a) provide a suitable background. The color changes employed by the invention can be accomplished by such phenomena as stress whitening inherent in various plastic materials. Alternatively, the color changes can be accomplished by mechanisms such as the use of encapsulated staining or coloring agents incorporated in a suitable matrix.
