Abstract: A two-compartment container in which the first compartment has an upper layer and a lower layer and contains a first component that is to be added to the second compartment. There are at least two lacquer layers on the lower layer of the first compartment outside of the first compartment, between the second component and the first compartment. Above the first compartment is a dome that is bowed upward and is flexible. Depressing the dome by pushing downward on it causes the lower layer of the first compartment to be ruptured without cutting or rupturing the upper layer, releasing the first component into the second compartment.

Abstract: A folded blister sheet where the blisters are placed symmetrically on the sheet, so that each blister is facing the back foil of another blister cavity, enabling the blister cavity to endure many times more pressure than if unfolded, and a method of making the blister sheet. The folding takes place immediately at the end of the packaging process. Packing of drugs in blister packages is facilitated so that the necessary protecting carton may be eliminated and shipping and display of the blisters is easier.
