US Classification:

206531, 206532, 206539, 53467

Abstract:

A package includes a blank having a face panel and a back panel. The face panel includes apertures and face tabs. The back panel includes gates that correspond with apertures, and tab strips that overlap the gates and are adjoined to back tabs. A blister pack is sealed between the face panel and the back panel whereby blisters align over gates and protrude through apertures, and tabs and form a composite pull tab.

Inventors:

Christopher Jeffrey Hession - Richmond VA, US

Assignee:

MeadWestvaco Corporation - Richmond VA

International Classification:

B65D 83/04
B65D 85/42

US Classification:

206538, 206528, 206531, 229125125

Abstract:

A package includes a slide card that is received in an outer sleeve having a false end wall. The false end wall extends between a top wall and a bottom wall to enhance the structural integrity of the outer sleeve. The false end wall provides child resistance in that it prevents a user from manipulating the outer sleeve to inadvertently disengage a locking feature that lockably retains a slide card in the outer sleeve. The false end wall also prevents a user from accessing the slide card through an opening that is created by removing an end wall.
