Abstract: A package for shipping, storing and controlled dispensing of a unit or single use quantity of liquid comprises a pair of flexible, liquid-impermeable sheets superposed one over the other. Each of the sheets comprises a first substantially rectangular section and a second substantially rectangular section, having different widths, and a transition section interconnecting the other two sections. One of the sheets has a recess formed therein which defines a pocket receivable of a unit or single use quantity of liquid. The other sheet defines a cover extending across and covering the recess. The recess also includes a portion defining an elongated and narrow spout extending outwardly of the pocket. The sheets are hermetically sealed to one another about their periphery completely about the recess. The "seal" may be manually peeled back in the region of the spout to open the package.
Abstract: The method of forming applicator packages comprises the steps of feeding a continuous web of material, such as one comprising an aluminum foil having an inner coating of a thermoplastic material; forming successively a plurality of recesses along the web of material; depositing a fabric applicator pad into each said recess; securing said fabric applicator to the inside portion of said recess by means such as heat sealing said pad to the thermoplastic lining of said aluminum foil; dispensing a predetermined quantity of product to be applied by said fabric applicator, to said applicator; feeding another continuous web of material from a supply roll so as to be continuously aligned in a coextensive manner with said first web of material, said other web of material comprising, for example, an aluminum foil having an inner coating of a thermoplastic material; sealing the peripheral marginal edges of each applicator package so as to form a thermoplastic hermetic closure about all sides of said recess leaving at lea
