Claim 12:
13. An affixed group of liquid pharmaceutical vials with breakable connectors, comprising:
a plurality of liquid pharmaceutical vials cuboid shaped and arranged as a linear array of liquid pharmaceutical vials with minimal total volume of the linear array during cold chain storage,
each liquid pharmaceutical vial including a first exterior side with a first planar surface configured to reversibly mate with a surface of an external side of an adjacent liquid pharmaceutical vial to form a minimal gap between each of the adjacent liquid pharmaceutical vials, wherein the minimal gap between each of the adjacent liquid pharmaceutical vials is of an equal width along a longitude of each liquid pharamceutical vial, wherein the first planar surface is positioned in parallel with the planar surface of the adjacent liquid pharmaceutical vial,
each liquid pharmaceutical vial including a second exterior side with a second planar surface configured to reversibly mate with a surface of a support, the second planar surface extending generally perpendicularly to the first planar surface,
each liquid pharmaceutical vial including a top exterior side including an access aperture,
each liquid pharmaceuitcal vial including an internal storage region configured for storage of a liquid pharmaceutical, the internal storage region including a bottom wall, wherein the bottom wall forms a concave surface of a size and shape to accept the tip of an injection needle;

the support including at least one planar surface configured to reversibly mate with the second surface of each of the plurality of liquid pharmaceutical vials, the support including a non-mating surface facing a position away from the linear array of liquid pharmaceutical vials;
a first set of breakable connectors positioned between the plurality of liquid pharmaceutical vials, wherein at least one breakable connector is affixed to the first planar surface of each liquid pharmaceutical vial, the at least one breakable connector positioned between each of the liquid pharmaceutical vials and the adjacent liquid pharmaceutical vial and affixing each first planar surface of a liquid pharmaceutical vial to a first planar surface of an adjacent liquid pharmaceutical vial;
a second set of breakable connectors positioned between the plurality of liquid pharmaceutical vials arranged in the affixed group and the support, the second set of breakable connectors affixing the second surfaces of the plurality of liquid pharmaceutical vials arranged in the affixed group to the support with a minimal gap between each of the plurality of vials and the support; and
a label affixed to the non-mating surface of the support with a label region facing away from the support;
wherein the support is a substantially planar structure of a similar height and width as the linear array of liquid pharmaceutical vials.
