ABSTRACT:
A lock and release mechanism of a unit dose package has a cut away formed in the second panel of an outer sleeve of the package, the cut away having a pair of legs extending therefrom and defining a node therebetween. A cut line and a throat region are formed in an end flap of first and second side panels, respectively, of a slide card to bifurcate each end flap into first and second engaging segments. The first and second engaging segments engage an engaging surface of a cut away formed in a second panel of the outer sleeve to prevent the slide card from unintentionally sliding within the outer sleeve. A release feature is formed in the third panel of the outer sleeve. The first and second engaging segments are disengaged from the engaging surface of the cut away by depressing the node via the release feature.
