Abstract
The invention relates to a blister package for an optical lens and is concerned with the problem of improving the blister package in such a way that the base parts can be stacked and the work involved in sorting can be substantially reduced. This is achieved by perfecting spacing elements and joining several base parts to one unit (FIG. 2).
