Abstract:
A package, comprising:a backing; and a blister-like compartment including a plurality of panels defining an enclosure with a mouth at its base, the panels having lateral edges that are shaped to abut each other, the panels including lateral flaps at the lateral edges, the lateral flaps being foldable along the lateral edges to abut inner surfaces of the panels such that any openings between adjacent panels are concealed, thereby creating a visual impression that there is no break between adjacent panels; the blister-like compartment further including at its base at the mouth's perimeter a plurality of flange sections that are affixed to the backing to enclose an item into the blister-like compartment, the flange sections having lateral edges that are shaped to abut each other, such that in the blister-like compartment the flange sections together form a substantially continuous flange around the mouth of the blister-like compartment, the panels, flange sections, and backing forming a tamper-evident enclosure, the blister-like compartment being formed, without thermoforming, from a blank that has been cut from a sheet of see-through plastic material.
