Abstract: A container in the form of an elongated tray for packaging a plurality of syringes and subsequently forming a rack when inverted for holding the syringes prior to and after use. The tray may have an open top, enclosed side walls and an enclosed bottom wall having an external surface with at least one row of notches for holding and accurately positioning the syringes. A removable label or cover may be heat-sealed or otherwise secured over the open top of the tray. In one embodiment of the invention, a heat-sealable dunnage material may be positioned in the tray between the cover and the syringes and both the dunnage material and the tray may be heat-sealed to the cover to thereby facilitate removal of the dunnage material. The method of utilizing the heat-sealable dunnage material is also disclosed.
