Abstract
Abstract A reclosable blister card package comprises a plastic blister having a flanged portion and a raised product holding portion. A paperboard card is folded over at least a pair of opposed blister flanged portions in provision of sliding movements of the blister on the card. A portion of the card extending transversely of the direction of sliding movements is folded over to present an edge thereof in engagement with a correspondingly extending portion of the flanged portion of the blister. A crease is provided in the card parallel to and adjacent the edge of the folded portion to accommodate pivotation of the edge out of engagement with the flanged portion and consequent release of the card from the blister in provision of access to a product held therein.
