The package assembly comprises a blister sheet having blister recesses and substantially planar shoulder portions located between the recesses and coated with a cohesive composition, and a lidding sheet having one surface entirely coated with a cohesive composition having affinity for the cohesive that is coated on the shoulder portions of the blister sheet, but having no affinity for pharmaceutical medications positioned in the blister recesses. A relatively stiff plastic frame having top and bottom panels is positioned on opposite sides of the blister sheet and lidding sheet in a sandwich relationship, thereby giving support to the entire package assembly. The present invention, therefore, allows for customized prescription packaging to be economically handled by a patient's pharmacist.Field of SearchARTICLE HOUSING ATTACHED TO PANELFOR AMPULE, CAPSULE, PELLET, OR GRANULE Structure for "press-out" of content unit With rupture means for access With indicia or indicator Single layer in edge-to-edge array ADHESIVE Hinged Body treatment (i.e., surgical, but not cosmetic) Single unit Compartmented | |
