Abstract
A simultaneous stop and alignment feature of a package having an outer sleeve and a slide card slidably disposed within the outer sleeve. A stop panel disposed on an inside surface of the outer sleeve has a stop panel edge spaced a predetermined distance (L) from a first end of the outer sleeve. A raised flap edge of the slide card may travel across a sliding distance (M) defined by the relationship L>M≧0. When the raised flap edge engages the stop panel edge, the sliding distance is defined by the relationship M=0, the slide card is prevented from further sliding within the outer sleeve, and at least one blister pocket receiving aperture and at least one exit aperture of the outer sleeve align with corresponding at least one aligning aperture of the slide card.
