The rear card (18) is attached to the front card to secure the viewing panel therebetween.
Description
- The present application is directed to blister card packaging structures and, more particularly, to trap sealing blister card packaging structures incorporating a viewing panel or window.
- Various consumer goods, such as pharmaceuticals, software, electronics, health and beauty products and the like, typically are packaged in trap sealing blister packages. Traditionally, trap sealing blister packages are formed by positioning a consumer good in a flanged blister and sealing the flanged blister between two cards.
- It has long been presumed that the only way to make the consumer good visible in the package was to faun the flanged blister from transparent polymeric materials. However, constructing flanged blisters from transparent polymeric materials requires additional, more expensive materials and more complex processing steps as compared to constructing flanged blisters from paperboard-based substrates.
- Accordingly, there is a need for a blister card packaging structure having a transparent viewing panel or window available at a relatively low cost.
- In one aspect, the disclosed blister card packaging structure may include a viewing panel having a surface area, a blister including a flange, a viewing panel receiving recess and a body portion, the viewing panel receiving recess being sized and shaped to closely receive the viewing panel therein, a front card defining an opening therein, the opening being sized and shaped to receive the body portion therethrough and prevent passage of the flange therethrough, and a rear card defining an opening therein, the opening of the rear card having a surface area that is less than the surface area of the viewing panel, wherein the front card is sealed to the rear card to secure the flange and the viewing panel therebetween.
- Other aspects of the disclosed blister card packaging structure will become apparent from the following description and the accompanying drawings.
