- and
- one or more primary product packages, each being secured to one of the one or more flaps;
- wherein the one or more flaps comprise at least two flaps and wherein the at least two flaps extend from a middle section of the inner product support card.
An inner product support card blank comprising:
- first and second card sections separated by a fold line which extends along a central axis for the inner product support card blank, each card section including a first panel and a second panel connected through a hinge panel;
- a first flap which extends from at least one of the first and second card sections;
- a first primary product package secured to the first flap;

- first and second card sections separated by a fold line which extends along a central axis for the inner product support card blank, each card section including a first panel and a second panel connected through a hinge panel;
- wherein a first flap section is defined in the first panel of the first card section and wherein a second flap section is defined in the second panel of the first card section.
A child-resistant package assembly, comprising:
- an outer carton defining an interior product storage compartment;
- the outer carton including a release mechanism formed on a wall for the carton and a securing ledge formed in an inner surface of the wall;
