Patent ID: 8578684

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a unitized package comprising a printed base card and a fluid vessel, comprising: (a) providing a printed base card; (b) forming a fluid vessel by: (i) forming a portion of a first laminate barrier layer of the fluid vessel into a modified dome shape with a defined volume by biaxial elongation of the first laminate barrier layer, wherein the first laminate barrier layer comprises at least one layer of a biaxially oriented thermoplastic polymer and a portion that is planar; (ii) depositing a product material onto the first laminate barrier layer such that the product material substantially fills the defined volume; (iii) disposing a second laminate barrier layer of the fluid vessel on the first laminate barrier layer, wherein the second laminate barrier layer is planar; (iv) sealing the first and second laminate barrier layers together at their perimeters to form a fluid-tight enclosure for containing the product material; and (c) permanently bonding the second laminate barrier layer of the fluid vessel to a portion of the printed base card.
