What is a Tear Tab Lid

A tear-strip plastic pail lid is a tamper-evident lid with a tear tab. This smart design enhances the sealed condition for a plastic bucket.

The bucket is used for storing and preserving various items. These items include food, chemicals, automotive supplies, paint, and other industrial products. The bucket is designed to keep these items fresh for an extended period.

A small add-on of plastic bucket lids can provide identification if the package is opened by someone or closure well. An ergonomic plastic button/ buckle and a plastic ring are perfectly integrated with the lid during injection molding making the bucket lid.

When the pull rod is not opened, you can see that it is intact at a glance. When the pail lid needs to be opened, you just need to pull and tear off the tamper-evident strip until it is completely removed from the lid.
