Abstract: A package comprises an elongate member having a connected row of article receptacle parts and receptacle enclosing parts. The length of each elongate member is a multiple of the width of a finished pack equal to the number of receptacle parts. Each elongate member is positioned for filling with articles with the opening of the receptacle parts facing upwards and each member is filled with articles simultaneously, or in one operation. The elongate member is closed in one operation for all receptacle parts by folding over the connected row of closing parts to a position covering the openings of the receptacle parts. Each elongate member is finally divided into separate packs by separating the elongate member along predetermined locations.

Abstract: A resealable package, comprising: a first, transparent member having a receptacle portion, a brim around the receptacle portion and structure forming one part of a snap-in lock formed in the brim; a second, flat member substantially co-extensive with the foldably connected to the transparent member along an edge of the brim opposite the snap-in lock structure, the second member having structure forming the other part of the snap-in lock, the first and second members being thereby detachably connectable; and, a removable sheet member, large enough to at least correspond in size to the first and second members and of relatively stiff material, interposed everywhere between the first and second members for reinforcing both the receptacle portion and the brim, the removable member having an opening through which only a portion of only the snap-in lock structure projects, whereby the members are held securely but releasably together.
