Abstract: A trapped card package includes a paperboard card having a flat top surface and a flat bottom surface, and a relatively large central rectangular opening. In the top surface and the bottom surface respectively, there is a recessed portion that extends around the opening. A clear plastic blister piece has a groove extending along its perimeter and a flange, and a lower clear plastic piece has a male element extending along its perimeter, and a flange. The lower piece male element engages the card opening and its flange engages the recessed portion of the card bottom and the male element projects upward beyond the top surface of the card where it is received by the perimeter groove of the blister piece as the flange of the blister piece engages the recessed portion of the card top surface, so as to trap the card and seal the package when adhesive on the engaged element is cured.

The lower piece male element engages the card opening and its flange abuts the underside of the card and the male element projects upward beyond the top surface of the card where it is received by the perimeter groove of the blister piece as the flange of the blister pieces engages the top surface of the card, so as to trap the card and seal the package when adhesive on the engaged element is cured.

Abstract: Apparatus for applying adhesive to outer edge portions of a generally rectangular clear plastic package piece has a lower portion that is a reservoir for liquid adhesive and an upper portion comprising a cover plate for the reservoir and having a flat rectangular top surface with a slot extending along each of the opposing sides of the top perimeter. Additionally, there a pair of longitudinally extending slots along the middle of the top surface and lateral slots extend through other portions of the cover plate. For each slot there is a removably mounted wick assembly, each assembly including a sheet of felt-like wick material that is looped around a rigid support bar with a lower part of the wick material extending downwardly into the reservoir. An upper portion of the wick extends a certain distance above the surface of the cover plate.
