A bottle is a rigid container with a neck that is narrower than the body and a mouth. By contrast, a jar has a relatively large mouth or opening which may be as wide as the overall container. Bottles are often made of glass, clay, plastic, aluminium or other impervious materials, and typically used to store liquids such as water, milk, soft drinks, beer, wine, cooking oil, medicine, shampoo, ink, and chemicals. A device applied in the bottling line to seal the mouth of a bottle is termed an external bottle cap, closure, or internal stopper. A bottle can also be sealed by a conductive innerseal by using induction sealing.
A lid, also known as a cover, is part of a container, and serves as the closure or seal, usually one that completely closes the object.Lids can be placed on small containers such as tubs as well as larger lids for open-head pails and drums.
