Abstract
A two-compartment package is provided which includes a unitarily formed hollow sleeve with first and second openings on opposite ends. First and second compartments are formed from the sleeve through a crimp between the first and second ends, the crimp preventing fluid communication between the compartments and allowing sufficient hinged flexibility for the compartments to align parallel to one another. The cap with projections coupling together the first and second compartments maintains those compartments in parallel alignment. A variety of consumer products may be filled into the package, most particularly it is suitable for a toothpaste with mutually incompatible ingredients being separated into respective compartments, such as a peroxide and baking soda.
