Abstract: A package for a stick-like article includes a first film having flat portions (14b) and a bulging portion (14a) for enclosing a stick-like article, and a second film which is joined to the first film by heat sealing. Joint portions (33, 34) are formed near both longitudinal ends. Since the package is separated from a packaging container (11) except for areas near both longitudinal ends, fingers can be easily inserted between the package for a stick-like article and the packaging container (11). This makes it easy to remove the package for a stick-like article from the packaging container (11). Since the width of the flat portions (14b) at the lateral edges of the package for a stick-like article can be made narrower, the width of the package becomes narrower. Accordingly, the consumption of the first and second films can be reduced.

The top surface of the substrate is provided with a dam structure, which may be formed as an additional layer on the substrate, and which is preferably in the form of a square ring. A groove (channel) is machined (e.g., by routing) into the surface of the dam structure. The top mold half, having a cavity for forming the package body, is provided with a sealing structure at the periphery of the cavity. The sealing structure has a ridge fitting into the channel of the dam structure. The depth of the groove in the dam structure is readily adjusted to ensure uniform clamping pressure of the top mold half on the substrate, so that liquid molding compound is contained within the cavity and so that undue pressure is not exerted on the substrate.

The retainers engage the to-be-packaged articles and secure them upon the cosmetic card. The support sheet includes a plurality of interleaved tabs and notches extending downwardly from the rear edge thereof.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a plastic blister system are shown and described. The blister system is comprised of a blister to which a lid or backing of the same material may be tightly fitted and sealed by virtue of one or more cooperating "steps" near the outer perimeters of the blister and or lid, and by virtue of the outer perimeters of the blister and lid being continuously sealed to the cardboard or other planar sheet of backing. When the blister pack is thus sealed and attached to the cardboard, any odors or vapors which may possibly emit from the product, which is encased within the sealed blister, are also totally sealed in and cannot escape. Also, the sealed blister prevents outside moisture and gasses from contacting the product until the blister is opened.

Abstract: A transparent thermoformed thermoplastic blister has a product bubble which protrudes from a flange which is connected to a backing card. The bubble has an access opening which is selectably uncovered by a pivotable door hinged to the flange and to a hinge panel by parallel hinges, with the hinge panel hinged to the flange to define an over-center hinge arrangement. The lengths of the hinge panel and door, as well as the spring constants of the hinges may be selected to form a closure which will tend to remain opened once opened, or alternatively one which will automatically spring closed when finger pressure on the door is released. The closure may alternatively be formed in a clamshell package. The physical manipulation of the door is similar to the throwing of a light switch, and hence is readily apprehended by new users.
