Abstract
A flexible package for cutting blades. A flexible first layer has at least one cavity formed therein to form a base for receiving a cutting blade. A flexible second layer is arranged over the base and proximate the base. A seal is formed about the periphery of each cavity to encapsulate a cutting blade placed into the cavity, the seal being formed by applying a predetermined combination of heat and pressure to selected portions of the second layer to cause the adhesive thereon to selectively bond to the base. Movement of each encapsulated cutting blade is deterred during transport and handling by the cavity in cooperation with the seal and the second layer, the blades becoming movable within the cavity when the seal is broken.
