ABSTRACT:
A packaging and dispensing system for pills and like objects includes a rectangular, box-like housing preferably made of metal or other durable material. On the floor of the housing is a sliding template which is equipped with three or more spaced-apart parallel rails to receive between them the rows of blisters on a fold-over drug card. A second, removable template provided with a plurality of holes is superimposed over the sliding template to create a space between the second template and the tops of the rails to receive the fold-over card. The fold-over drug card is inserted between the two templates through an opening at one end of the housing and positioned so that the blisters in the card are not aligned with the holes in the upper template. A spreader is used to spread the pills along the length of the second template, dropping one or more pills into each hole in the second template. When each hole is filled, the drug card is pulled out of the housing thereby aligning the blister cavities in the card with the holes in the upper template and enabling the pills to fall into the blister cavities. The card is then removed, folded over, heat sealed and labeled.
