Abstract
A sterilized hypodermic needle is within a container having a necked receiver section and a cap section rotatably receiving the neck and providing a hermetic seal when the container is closed with the proximate ends of its sections abutting or nearly abutting and the sections have flat surfaces that are then substantially coplanar. A seal extends across the junction between the sections and is heat-sealed to flat surfaces and is of a material that will stretch, become deformed and ruptures as the container is opened. The seal is formed by first arranging a series of containers in a side-by-side, abutting relationship. A strip of the seal-forming material is disposed across the series to overlie the junction between the sections of the several containers and is secured to the exposed flat surfaces by heat seals extending lengthwise of the strip on opposite sides of the junctions and, finally, the tape is severed transversely to free each container.
