To reduce waste from packaging material, instead of a lid, Montana spray cans have a small black safety ring underneath the cap to prevent the can from being sprayed. To start using a Montana spray can it is necessary to remove the black safety ring under the nozzle first. There are a few Montana spray cans that do have a lid (such as ADHESIVE, DUSTCLEAN, GLITTER, GRANIT ) - these cans do not have a safety ring and therefore only the lid needs to be removed.
