A child-resistant, senior-friendly package for containing tablets or like separate dispensable items, comprising: an elongate outer sleeve having an open end, closed end, and opposite side edges (30, 32) and defining a void therein; and a separate card carrying the tablets or like items, said card being slidable into said outer sleeve to a storage position in which said card is housed within said outer sleeve and access to the tablets or like items are prevented by said outer sleeve and a dispensing position in which said card is at least partially slid through said open end of said outer sleeve to expose the tablets or like items outside of said outer sleeve; said outer sleeve having an internal locking restriction secured to a wall thereof and said card having a tail end with a latch, said locking restriction of said outer sleeve and said latch of said card cooperating to form a locking engagement to lock said card within said outer sleeve in said storage position; and said outer sleeve having visually-defined squeeze locations on said opposite side edges (30, 32) that correspond to a location of said internal locking restriction such that said locking engagement between said internal locking restriction and said latch is released when said outer sleeve is squeezed at said squeeze locations on said opposite side edges (30, 32) of said outer sleeve, characterised in that said internal locking restriction is a ledge that extends transversely across said void and is of a predetermined thickness that reduces a predetermined height of said void, and in that said ledge becomes arched upwardly away from said latch when said visually-defined squeeze locations on said opposite side edges (30, 32) of said outer sleeve are squeezed toward one another to release said locking engagement of said latch from said ledge. an elongate outer sleeve having an open end, closed end, and opposite side edges (30, 32) and defining a void therein; and a separate card carrying the tablets or like items, said card being slidable into said outer sleeve to a storage position in which said card is housed within said outer sleeve and access to the tablets or like items are prevented by said outer sleeve and a dispensing position in which said card is at least partially slid through said open end of said outer sleeve to expose the tablets or like items outside of said outer sleeve; said outer sleeve having an internal locking restriction secured to a wall thereof and said card having a tail end with a latch, said locking restriction of said outer sleeve and said latch of said card cooperating to form a locking engagement to lock said card within said outer sleeve in said storage position; and said outer sleeve having visually-defined squeeze locations on said opposite side edges (30, 32) that correspond to a location of said internal locking restriction such that said locking engagement between said internal locking restriction and said latch is released when said outer sleeve is squeezed at said squeeze locations on said opposite side edges (30, 32) of said outer sleeve, characterised in that said internal locking restriction is a ledge that extends transversely across said void and is of a predetermined thickness that reduces a predetermined height of said void, and in that said ledge becomes arched upwardly away from said latch when said visually-defined squeeze locations on said opposite side edges (30, 32) of said outer sleeve are squeezed toward one another to release said locking engagement of said latch from said ledge.
