The blister includes elongated grooves on opposite sides thereof that slidingly receive the backing card. The blister includes a step that is preferably curved, which facilitates slidable entry of the backing card into the blister. Protrusions may be formed in the blister that extend into corresponding openings in the backing card in order to further retain the backing card within the blister.
