- As discussed above, the present invention features a blister card display package. As shown in
FIG. 1 , the blistercard display package 1 includes a card 5 and aunitary blister pack 40. The card 5 may be made of a variety of materials, such as paperboard or a rigid or semi-rigid plastic sheet. In one embodiment, the card 5 is desirably made of recyclable material. The card 5 has both a front sheet 10 (having both a frontouter face 15 and a front inner face 20) and a rear sheet 25 (having a rearouter face 30 and a rear inner face 35). In one embodiment as shown inFIG. 1 , the card 5 is made of a unitary sheet that can be folded alongcrease 6 to form thefront sheet 10 and therear sheet 25. In another embodiment (not shown), the front sheet and the rear sheet are separate sheets which may or may not be made of the same material. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , in order to mountunitary blister pack 40, at least a portion of the rearinner face 35 ofrear sheet 25 is affixed to the frontinner face 20 offront sheet 10. In one embodiment,rear sheet 25 is affixed tofront sheet 10 by use of heat sealing, adhesive seals (such as with heat-activated or solvent adhesive such as glues), RF or sonic seals, or any other suitable means. The materials of thefront sheet 10 and therear sheet 25 may be pre-treated to facilitate sealing of such materials together. In one embodiment,rear sheet 25 is affixed tofront sheet 10 proximate to one or more ofedges - As mentioned above, the blister
card display package 1 includes aunitary blister pack 40. Theunitary blister pack 40 contains a plurality ofblister portions 45 for containing the article to be displayed by the blistercard display package 1. In one embodiment, theunitary blister pack 40 includes at least fourblister portions 45, such as at least eight fourblister portions 45, such as at least tenblister portions 45. - The
unitary blister pack 40 and/or theblister portions 45 may be made into a variety of shapes and sizes based upon the shape, size, and friability of the articles to be contained within. Theblister pack 40 and/or theblister portions 45 may also be made of a variety of materials suitable to hold and protect the articles to be contained within. In one embodiment, the blister portions are made of a transparent plastic material to allow the articles to be seen through theblister portions 45. Such plastic material may be clear or have color. Theunitary blister pack 40 may be manufactured by various means known in the art, including thermoform and injection molding techniques. Theunitary blister pack 40 may be manufacture with a rigid or semi-rigid material. Suitable materials include, but are not limited to, plastic materials such as polypropylene, polyethylene, polychlorotrifluoroethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, cyclic olefin copolymer, ethylene vinyl alcohol, high density polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, fluorinated-chlorinated resin, fluoropolymer, and mixtures and laminates thereof. In one embodiment, theunitary blister pack 40 is desirably made of recyclable material. - The
unitary blister pack 40 also contains arupturable film sheet 50 covering each of the plurality ofblister portions 45.Rupturable film sheet 50 retains the article withinblister portion 45, but allows the user to intentionally remove the article from ablister portion 45 by rupturing the part ofrupturable film sheet 50 covering such blister portion (such portions depicted withinareas 51 inFIG. 4 ). Therupturable film sheet 50 may include features or materials such as a heat sealable layer, aluminum foil, adhesive/bonding layers, primer, polyester, paper, metalized film, polyethylene, ink for printing, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, bi-axially oriented polypropylene, ethylene vinyl alcohol, and combinations thereof. In one embodiment, therupturable film sheet 50 is a laminate of thin metal foil such as aluminum foil and paper. The foil side of the laminate faces the article contained in theblister portion 45 and the paper side serves as an additional area to add writing or instructions for the user. The rupturable film may be ruptured by the user by pushing the article through the portion of the film above the blister portion, by peeling back or breaking such portion of the film, which may or may not be perforated or pre-cut, to expose the article, or by other similar means. In one embodiment, therupturable film sheet 50 is desirably made of recyclable material. - In one embodiment,
rupturable film sheet 50 is affixed tounitary blister pack 40 by use of heat sealing, adhesive seals (such as with heat-activated or solvent adhesive such as glues), RF or sonic seals, or any other suitable means. The materials of therupturable film sheet 50 and the unitary blister pack 40may be pre-treated to facilitate sealing of such materials together. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , theunitary blister pack 40 is mounted between the frontinner face 20 offront sheet 10 and the rearinner face 35 ofrear sheet 25. As shown inFIG. 1 ,rear sheet 25 containsblister openings 55 that allow the plurality ofblister portions 45 to protrude through rearouter face 15 ofrear sheet 25. In one embodiment, as shown inFIG. 2 , there is a blister opening for each blister portion. Such arrangement also assists maintaining theblister pack 40 mounted betweenfront sheet 10 andrear sheet 25 In another embodiment (not shown), multiple blister portions protrude through a single blister opening. - As shown in
FIG. 3 ,front sheet 10 contains anoperable flap 60 that allows access to the portion of therupturable film sheet 50 covering the plurality ofblister portions 45.FIG. 3 depictsoperable flap 60 in a closed position, covering the portion of therupturable film sheet 50 covering the plurality ofblister portions 45.Flap 60 may initially be opened by breakingflap perforations 61 and foldingoperable flap 60 alongflap crease 62.FIG. 4 depictsoperable flap 60 in an open position, exposing the portion of therupturable film sheet 50 covering the plurality of blister portions 45 (such portions depicted withinareas 51 inFIG. 4 ). By exposing therupturable film sheet 50, the user of the package is able to beak the portion of therupturable film sheet 50 covering ablister portion 45 and remove the article contained within. Theoperable flap 60 may then be returned to the closed position covering the portion of therupturable film sheet 50 covering the remainder ofblister portions 45 still containing articles. - The
operable flap 60 also provides visibility to a portion of frontinner face 20 of thefront sheet 10 when theoperable flap 60 is in the open position. In one embodiment, both the outer face of theoperable flap 60 and the inner face of theoperable flap 60 contain writing. - In one embodiment,
front sheet 10 contains a singleoperable flap 60 that allows access to the portion of therupturable film sheet 50 covering all of the plurality ofblister portions 45. In another embodiment (not shown),front sheet 10 contains a plurality ofoperable flaps 60 each of which allows access to only a portion of therupturable film sheet 50 covering only a portion of the plurality ofblister portions 45. - In one embodiment,
operable flap 60 contains atab 70 that is operative to releasably maintain theoperable flap 60 over the portion of therupturable film sheet 50 covering the plurality ofblister portions 45. In one embodiment, whenoperable flap 60 is in the closed position,tab 70 can come into frictional contact withedges rear sheet 25, thereby maintainingoperable flap 60 in the closed position. - In one embodiment, card 5 comprises one or more sets of
perforations 75 between a removable portion of card that is not in contact with the unitary blister package and the portion of the card that is in contact with the unitary blister package. Such an embodiment allows for the user once they have purchased the blistercard display package 1 to remove a portion of card 5, thereby reducing the size of the blister card display package. - In one embodiment, the unitary blister package contains an
opening 80 for hanging the blister card display package from a support device, such as an extended peg of a pegboard display. In one embodiment, a removable portion of the card contains such opening for hanging the package from a support device. - It is understood that while the invention has been described in conjunction with the detailed description thereof, that the foregoing description is intended to illustrate and not limit the scope of the invention, which is defined by the scope of the appended claims. Other aspects, advantages, and modifications are within the claims.
