Abstract: A multi-layered, secure packaging assembly that retains an article therein. The assembly includes a card having front and back surfaces coated with an adhesive. A first cover plate is adhered to the front surface of the card while a second cover plate is adhered to the back surface of the card. The first cover plate includes a receptacle for retaining the article therein. The width and length of the first cover plate is equal to the width and length of the card and second cover plate. The card splits into two nearly equal pieces when the first cover plate is separated or pulled away from the second cover plate to provide a consumer with access to the article.
