Abstract

A method for hot-filling and closing a polymer container (10) is disclosed which one of the closure for the container and the head space area is provided with a hole covered with a hydrophobic air permeable membrane (38, 138). The container (10) is then filled with a hot liquid (42) and the filled container (10) is closed but for the air permeable component. The filled container (10) is then cooled with the pressure between the interior of the container (10) and the ambient pressure being equalized due to the air permeable membrane (38, 138). Subsequent to cooling, an air-tight seal (40, 140) is provided over the membrane- covered hole. An associated container (10) and closure cap (18) is also disclosed.
