The first package includes an inner wall that is connected across a first fold line located along its lower edge to the inner wall of the second package. Tabs extending from top and bottom flaps of the first package are glued to corresponding top and bottom flaps of the second package. The tabs are attached the top and bottom flaps of the first package across second fold lines. The first and second fold lines are perforated to facilitate tearing during a separation process in which the first package is separated from the second package. The single-piece blank includes panels that form the walls of the first and second packages.
