Abstract
Described herein are multi-unit storage devices where two separate compartments are joined in a manner such that accessing one of the compartments does not compromise product held in the other compartment. The separate compartments may be vacuum or otherwise sealed such that when the seal is broken, access to the products contained therein is provided. Each of the compartments may be independently sealed.

A multi-compartment storage device, comprising:
- a container body comprising:
- a first surface extending from a first end to a second end and defining, at least in part, a first compartment;
- a second surface extending from a third end to a fourth end and defining, at least in part, a second compartment adjacent the first compartment;
- and
- a divider wall positioned adjacent the second end and the third end and defining, at least in part, the first compartment and the second compartment, wherein:
- each of the first compartment and the second compartment is independently accessible;
- the first surface comprises first perforations adjacent the second end configured to enable at least a portion of the first surface to be separated from the divider wall;
- the second surface comprises second perforations adjacent the third end configured to enable at least a portion of the second surface to be separated from the divider wall;
- a first seal coupled to the first compartment;
- and
- a second seal coupled to the second compartment, wherein:
- at least one of the first seal or the second seal is a reusable closure element configured to be accessed without breaking the other seal.

A method of using a multi-compartment storage device comprising:
- obtaining the multi-compartment storage device, wherein the multi-compartment storage device comprises:
- a first surface extending from a first end to a second end and defining, at least in part, a first compartment;
- a second surface extending from a third end to a fourth end and defining, at least in part, a second compartment adjacent the first compartment;
- and
- a divider wall positioned adjacent the second end and the third end and defining, at least in part, the first compartment and the second compartment, wherein:
- each of the first compartment and the second compartment is independently accessible;
- the first surface comprises first perforations adjacent the second end configured to enable at least a portion of the first surface to be separated from the divider wall;
- the second surface comprises second perforations adjacent the third end configured to enable at least a portion of the second surface to be separated from the divider wall;
- a first seal coupled to the first compartment;
- and
- a second seal coupled to the second compartment, wherein:
- at least one of the first seal or the second seal is a reusable closure element configured to be accessed without breaking the other seal;
- opening the first seal;
- accessing and using product stored in the first compartment;
- removing the first compartment from the second compartment by separating the first surface at the first perforations;
- and
- opening the second seal and using product stored in the second compartment.
