Abstract
Disclosed are blister package apparatuses and methods for use with tablets such as soft or breakable tablets that cannot be forced through a push-through layer. Specifically, a package for soft tablets can include a pair of blister strips, each blister strip having a plastic sheet, a plurality of recesses formed in the plastic sheet, and a peel-away backing layer for covering the recesses. A plurality of support posts can secure the blister strips together, and a spacer element can extend from one of the blister strips towards the other blister strip, the spacer element extending between two or more of the recesses for maintaining the blister strips in a spaced-apart configuration. The plurality of recesses formed in each blister strip can be offset with respect to the recesses formed in the other blister strip such that the recesses of one blister strip can nest between the recesses of the other.
