Abstract
Abstract The invention concerns a packaging and display arrangement of a well-known type in which a flexible plastic film container is used to store premeasured amounts of two chemical substances such as for instance a glue and a catalyst and in which separation of the two components prior to use is obtained by means of a member which is applied externally to the container and which is received within a channel portion of a supporting base. Another portion of the base is arranged to form a mixing trough for the components once they have been brought together and one portion of the member may likewise serve as an applying spatula.
