Abstract
The package is designed to require a sequence of opening steps too complex for a child to perform, but simple enough for an adult to perform. The package is formed from a top having a surface that projects from one face of the top sheet and forms a recess in the opposite face of the top sheet, a bottom sheet overlying the opposite face of the top sheet, arranged to enclose the recess, a sealed portion and an unsealed portion formed between the top sheet and the bottom sheet, wherein each recess is associated with a sealed portion and an unsealed portion, and a tear slit located between the unsealed portion and an edge of the package, wherein the tear slit does not contact any edge of the package.
