ABSTRACT:
A dispensing package for containing a plurality of individual dosages of pills, capsules, tablets and the like that can be selectively removed one dose at a time. A cover portion for the package is made up of an outer layer of paperboard or the like with an inner layer of rupturable metal foil or the like bonded to one surface. Disc-shaped punch-out lids are cut into the paperboard layer and are held in position by the foil. A container portion is bonded to the foil and includes a sheet of flexible plastic material formed with a plurality of pockets or blisters. One of the lids overlies each of the pockets and a single dose of pills or the like is contained in each of the pockets. The paperboard layer has high strength and stiffness relative to the foil. Consequently, by collapsing one of the pockets against the cover portion, the portion of the foil attached to the associated lid ruptures and separates from the cover portion with the lid so that the pill is pressed through the opening uncovered by the lid.
