Abstract:
Improved packages and methods for constructing packages are provided that are designed such that the user can peel back a lidding member of the package to reveal an independently peelable portion covering one of the compartments. The independently peelable portion is a layer of the lidding member that maintains the respective compartment in an unopened (sealed) condition until the user independently peels that layer off to access the items in that compartment. The lidding member can be used to re-seal all of the compartments before and/or after the independently peelable portion is removed. The independently peelable portion may include a visual indication of a sealed condition of the compartment that serves as a tamper evidence feature. In multiple-compartment packages, peeling back the lidding member allows the user to access some of the compartments of the package, while at least one of the compartments remains sealed via the independently peelable portion.

Claim (Index 14):
A package comprising:\n a base member defining at least one compartment, the base member comprising a sealing surface formed by an inner flange and an outer flange, wherein the sealing surface defines a channel between the inner flange and the outer flange, wherein the outer flange defines an exterior edge; and a lidding member which covers the at least one compartment in a closed configuration, the lidding member comprising a first layer and a second layer laminated to the first layer via an adhesive layer, wherein the adhesive layer comprises at least a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) in a perimeter region of the lidding member aligned with the outer flange, and a cut line through the first layer which defines\n a first portion of the first layer which is permanently adhered to the second layer and is aligned with the channel, and \n a second portion of the first layer, wherein the second portion is not permanently adhered to the second layer, is heat sealed to the inner flange of the sealing surface of the base member and \n covers the at least one compartment; and \n wherein when the lidding member is peeled away from the sealing surface, the at least one compartment is remains covered by the second portion of the first layer.
