A blister and package system made of a blister card and an outer package with unique interacting locking mechanisms. The blister card or strip is inserted into the outer package or sleeve and locks immediately without having to further process the outer package or the blister card or strip. The user is able to expose the blisters from the outer package by disengaging the lock. The blister card or strip includes a formable, pliable sheet material, into which one or more individual cavities or blisters are formed. The separated cavities are loaded with product and sealed with one or more layers of puncturable or tearable sheet material, such as aluminum foil. The blister card or strip contains a plastic rivet assembly that forms an interference mechanism. The rivet is trapped by an internally formed panel and stopped by a catch flap included in the outer package.

A protector for a windshield wiper assembly includes an elongated body defining a cavity receiving at least the blade of the wiper assembly. The cover is used to protect the assembly from snow, ice, mud, etc. Preferably, the assembly is pivoted away from the windshield before the blade is inserted into the body. Caps with decorative covers are provided at the ends of the body. The body may be made of a translucent material and may be covered with logos, insignia and other advertising materials.

Embodiments of the invention provide drug packaging and methods for producing drug packaging which can be sealed at room temperature and/or without the need for elevated temperatures above room temperature. Many embodiments provide drug packaging comprising pierceable tubing having a capsule shape (also referred to herein as a pierceable capsule and/or pierceable drug capsule) containing a solid drug such as a drug pellet and methods for producing pierceable drug capsules which can be sealed at room temperature. Embodiments are particularly useful for the packaging and delivery of drugs used in implantable drug delivery devices as well as packaging of drugs that are easily thermally degraded.

A container (10) is provided for storing and distributing items. The container (10) includes a cover (12) and a tray (50) which are complimentary in shape and configured so that the tray (50) can be retained within the cover (12). The container (10) has a fully closed position in which a tray top opening (44) is fully contained within an internal volume of the cover (12) and a fully open position in which at least one cover retention element engages the tray (50) to resist further outward movement of the tray (50) from the internal volume. The cover (12) and tray (50) both preferably have curved shape that allows the container (10) to be more comfortably transported in a clothing pocket. The tray (50) and cover (12) preferably cooperate to form a moisture barrier to preserve items contained within the tray (50).

An opposing-foil panel includes spaced apart planar foils, a first zone between the foils and defining a first zone length in a machine direction and a first zone width extending in a cross-machine direction, normal to the machine direction, across a first portion of the foil width, a plurality of elongated support members affixed to the foils in the first zone and extending along the first zone length and spaced apart along the first zone width, a second zone between the foils adjacent to the first zone and defining a second zone length and a second zone width extending across a second portion of the foil width, and a distributed interconnecting structure affixed to the foils in the second zone and distributed across the second zone width with greater density than the first plurality of elongated support members is distributed across the first zone width.

A package includes an outer sleeve (60) and a lockable receptacle (50). The package has a two-part locking mechanism for locking the lockable receptacle within the outer sleeve. The package also has a release mechanism including a moveable table (76) that may be depressed to cause the two-part locking mechanism to be unlocked as well as to case the lockable receptacle to be at least partially withdrawn from the outer sleeve. The moveable tab is oriented at a non-normal angle relative to a lateral axis (x) of the outer sleeve. The non-normal angle is defined as a first angle () between the lateral axis and a notional axis (C) which runs centrally of the moveable tab through the anchored portion and to a medial point (M) of the front edge.

A container comprising an inner sleeve and an outer sleeve, the outer sleeve operating to conceal at least a portion of an exterior surface of the inner sleeve when the inner sleeve is at least partially received within the outer sleeve. The inner and outer sleeves are movable relative to each other such that, when the outer sleeve and inner sleeve are moved relative to each other, various printed matter borne by the inner sleeve is revealed.
