A tamper-indicating closure includes a closure shell having a skirt for
securing the closure to a container neck finish and a tamper band
frangibly coupled to the skirt for separation from the skirt upon first
removal of the closure from the container. An RFID circuit, including an
RFID tag and an antenna, is carried by the tamper band for separation
from the skirt with the tamper band and remaining operational on the
container after the closure has been removed from the container. The RFID
circuit preferably is carried by a stop flange that extends from the
tamper band, and is disposed between the stop flange and the tamper band.
