International Classification:

B65D083/04

US Classification:

206/531000, 206/534000

Abstract:

A packaging system for unit dispensing a predefined number of dosages or items at a time (or a predefined amount of liquid or flowable material, such as powder, lotions, or the like) is provided which integrates into a single form the materials, properties, and benefits of carton-based and foil blister-based packaging. The use of secondary processes such as the alignment of perforations between the carton material and foil blister, adhesion of foil blisters to carton surfaces, and adhesive-backed labeling allows the invention to be easily separated by the end-user into compact units whose portability facilitates and encourages adherence to dosage requirements. These features allow the user to remove a dosage from the packaging yet keep intact the physicality and functionality of the combined components.
