Medication packaging and dispensing system

A method for forming a medication booklet from a blank, the blank including a plurality of panels coupled together along a plurality of fold lines, the plurality of panels including an inner front panel including a plurality of front cutouts defined therein, an outer front panel including a sequential tab assembly including a plurality of pull tabs, a first side panel, and a back panel including a plurality of back cutouts defined therein, said method comprising:

• rotating the inner front panel about a fold line into a face-to-face relationship with the outer front panel, such that each pull tab of the sequential tab assembly is substantially aligned with an associated front cutout of the plurality of front cutouts;
• rotating the first side panel about a fold line into a substantially perpendicular relationship with the back panel;
• and
• rotating the outer front panel about a fold line into a substantially parallel relationship with the back panel, such that each of the front cutouts is substantially aligned with an associated back cutout of the plurality of back cutouts.

A blank for constructing a tray, said blank comprising:

• a plurality of panels coupled together along a plurality of generally parallel fold lines, said plurality of panels including:
• a first outer side panel,
• a bottom panel, and
• a riser panel;
• a first end panel extending from a first end edge of said first outer side panel;
• and
• a first guide panel extending from a top edge of said first end panel, said first guide panel comprising a plurality of linear stops along a free edge thereof;
• wherein said riser panel is oriented at an oblique angle with respect to said bottom panel when the tray is formed from said blank, the oblique angle corresponding to a pitch of said first guide panel.

A tray comprising:

• a first end wall;
• a first side wall extending from a side edge of said first end wall;
• a bottom wall extending from a bottom edge of said first side wall;
• a riser extending an oblique angle from said bottom wall;
• and
• a first guide panel coupled in a face-to-face relationship with said first end wall, said first guide panel comprising a plurality of linear stops along a free edge thereof,
• wherein the oblique angle of said riser corresponds to a pitch of said first guide panel.

A method of forming a tray from a blank, the blank including a plurality of panels coupled together along a plurality of generally parallel fold lines, the plurality of panels including a first outer side panel, a bottom panel, and a riser panel, the blank further including a first end panel extending from a first end edge of the first outer side panel and a first guide panel extending from a top edge of the first end panel, the first guide panel including a plurality of linear stops along a free edge thereof, said method comprising:

• rotating the first outer side panel into a substantially perpendicular relationship with the bottom panel;
• rotating the first guide panel into a face-to-face relationship with the first end panel;
• and
• rotating the first end panel into a substantially perpendicular relationship with the first outer side panel;
• and
• rotating the riser panel about a fold line to position the riser panel at an oblique angle with respect to the bottom panel, wherein the oblique angle of the riser panel corresponds to a pitch of the first guide panel.
