  • Publication number: 20100147936
    Abstract: A package holds and stores articles such as drug delivery devices. An inner slide card (100) with a tray (110) is loaded with drug delivery devices (116) and inserted into an outer sleeve (200). Receiving slots (114) and apertures (118) secure the drug delivery devices in a tray. Elements such as catches (122) associated with the slide card cooperatively engage elements such as catches (240) associated with the outer sleeve (200). The cooperative engagement of the respective catches provides a child-resistant feature and a spill-resistant feature. A release button (224) disengages the child-resistant feature. The horizontal orientation of the injectables provides easy access for a user who has limited dexterity as well as sufficient area to apply graphics.
