Abstract

A blister package comprises a medication holder molded from a transparent plastic sheet and having one end closed by an integrally-formed flexible and non-resilient wall and the other end closed by a removable lid attached to the holder by a line hinge. The holder has four ribs pressed out of its sidewall and which respectively receive four detents provided at the sides of a central spigot formed on the lid and which locate in the interiors of respective ribs. The sidewall of the holder provides a socket for the reception of the lid spigot and the combined wall strengths of the spigot and socket when interfitting with one another makes the combination relatively inflexible until the lid is removed from the holder.
