Abstract: A quick-opening package comprises a layer of formable material, at least one pocket in the formable layer, and a frangible backing layer adhered to the formable layer for enclosing an item contained in the pocket. An arrangement is provided for strengthening portions of the formable layer, and the strengthening arrangement defines an angulation fold line extending between the formable layer portions and across the pocket. A layer of protective material is adhered at least peripherally to a side of the frangible layer opposite from the formable layer. The protective layer has a line of weakening therein extending adjacent to and generally parallel with the fold line of the package.
