Abstract: The invention provides a packaging assembly including a rear panel which has a rear central portion with a rear surface and a rear skirt, and a rear peripheral flange linearly displaced from the central portion by the rear skirt. Also provided is a front panel including a front central portion with a front surface and a front skirt, and a front peripheral flange linearly displaced from the central portion by the front skirt, and the front panel is configured for nesting with the rear panel. A pocket is defined when the front and rear panels are placed in nesting engagement with each other, wherein linear displacement between the front central portion and the front peripheral flange is greater than linear displacement between the rear central portion and the rear peripheral flange. A blister on the front panel is dimensioned for receiving a product and a pocket insert is sized and configured for insertion into the pocket for confining the product within the blister.
