Abstract
The present invention provides a dispensing package for pill or pellet type products. The package has a sliding closure that opens and closes over an orifice to control dispensing. The package has a container for housing the pill or pellet type products. The sliding closure of the present invention has a top wall and two opposing end walls. The end walls have exterior prongs extending along them so as to slidingly engage exterior grooves on the side walls of the container. The sliding closure further includes two opposing attachment walls extending from the top wall into the interior chamber of the container. These attachment walls also have prongs that are adapted to slidingly engage interior grooves on the side walls of the container. This design allows the sliding closure to remain securely attached to the container even if the exterior prongs are disengaged from the exterior grooves.
