A package includes a container having a neck finish, and a closure having
a plastic shell with a skirt externally secured to the container neck
finish. A seal disk includes a metal layer on a plastic substrate. The
periphery of the plastic substrate is sealingly secured to the neck
finish of the container. The metal layer of the seal disk includes a
circumferentially continuous outer periphery overlying the outer
periphery of the plastic layer and an interrupted inner portion within
said outer periphery. An RFID assembly includes and an RFID tag
electrically connected to an antenna. The RFID assembly is captured
between the seal disk and the plastic shell, and the interruptions in the
inner portion of the metal layer of the seal disk reduce or eliminate
interference in communication between the RFID assembly and external
interrogation circuitry. A liner disk may be disposed between the seal
disk and the RFID assembly. The closure skirt may have an internal bead
to engage a periphery of the liner disk and lift the liner disk off of
the neck finish during removal of the closure from the container neck
finish.
