         2 . The can closure of  claim 1  wherein:
 said can closure body includes a chuck wall disposed between said center panel and said curl; and 
 wherein said chuck wall is one of a steep chuck wall, a very steep chuck wall, an extremely steep chuck wall, or an exceedingly steep chuck wall. 
 
     
     
         3 . The can closure of  claim 1  wherein:
 said can closure body includes a panel break and a seam line; and 
 wherein the seam line gap is one of a small seam line gap, a very small seam line gap, an extremely small seam line gap, or an exceedingly small seam line gap. 
 
     
     
         4 . The can closure of  claim 1  wherein:
 said can closure body has an end diameter; and 
 wherein the center panel diameter to end diameter ratio is one of 88.99%, 91.39%, 93.31%, or 96.20%. 
 
     
     
         5 . The can closure of  claim 1  wherein:
 the can closure body includes a tear panel; and 
 wherein the tear panel ratio is one of 28.67% or 31.98%. 
 
     
     
         6 . A can closure comprising:
 a can closure body including a center panel and a chuck wall; and   wherein said chuck wall is one of a steep chuck wall, a very steep chuck wall, an extremely steep chuck wall, or an exceedingly steep chuck wall.   
     
     
         7 . The can closure of  claim 6  wherein:
 said can closure body includes a panel break and a seam line; and 
 wherein the seam line gap is one of a small seam line gap, a very small seam line gap, an extremely small seam line gap, or an exceedingly small seam line gap. 
 
     
     
         8 . The can closure of  claim 6  wherein:
 said can closure body has an end diameter; and 
 wherein the center panel diameter to end diameter ratio is one of 88.99%, 91.39%, 93.31%, or 96.20%. 
 
     
     
         9 . The can closure of  claim 6  wherein:
 the can closure body includes a tear panel; and 
 wherein the tear panel ratio is one of 28.67% or 31.98%. 
 
     
     
         10 . A can closure comprising:
 a can closure body including a center panel, a panel break and a seam line; and   wherein the seam line gap is one of a small seam line gap, a very small seam line gap, an extremely small seam line gap, or an exceedingly small seam line gap.   
     
     
         11 . The can closure of  claim 10  wherein:
 said can closure body has an end diameter; and 
 wherein the center panel diameter to end diameter ratio is one 88.99%, 91.39%, 93.31%, or 96.20%. 
 
     
     
         12 . The can closure of  claim 10  wherein:
 the can closure body includes a tear panel; and 
 wherein the tear panel ratio is one of 28.67% or 31.98%. 
 
     
     
         13 . A can closure comprising:
 a can closure body including a center panel and an end diameter; and   wherein the center panel diameter to end diameter ratio is one 88.99%, 91.39%, 93.31%, or 96.20%.   
     
     
         14 . The can closure of  claim 13  wherein:
 said can closure body includes a panel break and a seam line; and 
 wherein the seam line gap is one of a small seam line gap, a very small seam line gap, an extremely small seam line gap, or an exceedingly small seam line gap. 
 
     
     
         15 . The can closure of  claim 13  wherein:
 the can closure body includes a tear panel; and 
 wherein the tear panel ratio is one of 28.67% or 31.98%. 
 
     
     
         16 . A can closure comprising:
 a can closure body including a center panel and a tear panel; and   wherein the tear panel ratio is one of 28.67% or 31.98%.   
     
     
         17 . The can closure of  claim 16  wherein said can closure body is a shallow can closure body. 
     
     
         18 . The can closure of  claim 16  wherein:
 said can closure body is a beverage can closure body; and 
 said beverage container closure body has a unit depth of less than 0.25 inch.
