  • Publication number: 20070122521
    Abstract: A gum packaging design having a plastic sheet formed to create a purality of cavities that each contain a single liquid-filled gum pellet. The gum pellets are sealed and retained within each cavity by a foil layer, having a thickness of 18 microns or less. Each gum pellet can be dispensed from the package by pressing the liquid-filled gum pellet through the relatively-thin foil layer, which breaks under less force than would a thicker foil layer and significantly reduces the likelihood of cracking of the liquid-filled gum pellet.
