A packaging apparatus comprising:

• an outer sleeve, including an open compartment and a closed compartment;
• an inner sleeve, wherein the outer sleeve and the inner sleeve include plastic laminate;
• a first locking mechanism to lock the inner sleeve inside the outer sleeve responsive to sliding the inner sleeve in the open compartment of the outer sleeve, wherein the first locking mechanism locks the packaging apparatus when a first tab of the first locking mechanism located on the inner sleeve moves from a position substantially parallel to a side panel of the inner sleeve and protrudes through an aperture in an interior wall of the outer sleeve in a position extending perpendicular to the side panel of the inner sleeve into the closed compartment of the outer sleeve, the interior wall of the outer sleeve located between the open compartment and the closed compartment;
• a tamper-evident first flap located on an exterior panel of the outer sleeve and configured to enter the closed compartment of the outer sleeve and provide access for a user to press the first tab of the first locking mechanism from the position extending perpendicular to the side of the inner sleeve to a position substantially parallel to the side panel of the inner sleeve to unlock the packaging apparatus and allow the inner sleeve to slide out of the open compartment of the outer sleeve of the packaging apparatus;
• and
• a pull tab for removal of the inner sleeve from inside the outer sleeve.
