Abstract
A multi-cavity blister package includes a backing card. A transparent, plastic semi-rigid cover sheet co-extensive with the backing card formed with a plurality of raised portions each of which, when secured to the backing card, forms a product receiving cavity or compartment. The plastic covering is secured to the backing card to form a plurality of product receiving cavities. The backing card has perforations proximate to each product-receiving cavity to allow selective perforations to be burst to provide access to an associated cavity without compromising remaining cavities or compartments for future use.

Multi-cavity product package comprising a plurality of products each product comprises at least two differently shaped components required to perform a predetermined task;
- a generally flat backing card having predetermined dimensions and a pre-defined surface area;
- and a transparent plastic semi-rigid cover sheet generally co-extensive with said backing card over said pre-determined surface area, said plastic cover sheet being provided with a plurality of raised portions each of which when secured to said backing card forms a multi-component product receiving blister, cavity, chamber or compartment and each of said raised portions being thermoformed and shaped to conform to at least a portion of the surface of each component and display all of the components of each multi-component product to maintain the components of each of the multi-component products arranged in a plane substantially parallel to said flat backing card in substantially fixed positions so that all the components of each multi-component product are visible prior to removal from a selected blister, cavity, chamber or compartment thereby indicating to a user that all required components for the predetermined task are present in each blister, cavity, chamber or compartment and available to accomplish the predetermined task;
- means for securing selected portions of said plastic cover sheet to said backing card to form said plurality of said product receiving blisters, cavities, chambers or compartments, said backing card being provided with perforations proximate to each product-receiving blister, cavity, chamber or compartment, whereby selective perforations can be burst to provide access to an associated product receiving blister, cavity, chamber or compartment to remove all the associated components of a multi-component product contained therein without compromising said flat backing card and remaining product receiving blisters, cavities, chambers or compartments or compartments in which remaining multi-component products continue to be fully visible through a transparent raised portion for future use.
