Abstract
A blister strip package comprising two coextensive sheets of heat sealable material provided with a first row of individual cavities for containing a product to be dispensed in one of said sheets, said first row of cavities being laterally aligned with a corresponding, opposing row of an equal number of second cavities in the same sheet, the cavity bearing sheet being heat sealed to the other sheet except in the areas defined by the cavities and, in one embodiment of the invention, being also heat sealed in areas spaced from the second cavities and adjacent to weakened lines for disruption of the covering sheet, whereby the second cavities can be pushed inwards and thus inverted to bear upon the covering sheet in order to thereby disrupt it at score lines or slits and to form a pull tab which can be grasped and pulled towards the aligned, respective pair of second and first cavities thereby peeling the covering sheet from the cavity bearing sheet and forming a direct access along predetermined lines to a selected first cavity.
