         9 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein the LPF is at least about 100. 
     
     
         10 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the monolayer container and monolayer closure comprises titanium dioxide. 
     
     
         11 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the monolayer container and monolayer closure comprises at least one color pigment. 
     
     
         12 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the monolayer container and monolayer closure comprises plastic. 
     
     
         13 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein the monolayer container and the monolayer closure comprise plastic. 
     
     
         14 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein the package contains dairy product. 
     
     
         15 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein the package contains liquid dairy product. 
     
     
         16 . The package of  claim 15 , wherein the liquid dairy product comprises milk. 
     
     
         17 . Light protection monolayer closure comprising a top portion having a thickness of at least about 50 mil. 
     
     
         18 . The closure of  claim 17 , wherein the top portion thickness is from about 50 mil to about 70 mil. 
     
     
         19 . The closure of  claim 18 , wherein the top portion thickness is from about 50 mil to about 60 mil. 
     
     
         20 . The closure of  claim 17 , wherein the closure top portion has an LPF of at least about 50. 
     
     
         21 . The closure of  claim 17 , wherein the closure is white.
