• the invention relates to a blister pack with a bottom foil and a cover foil for forming a plurality of separable by perforations foil container, each having a receiving chamber for a product, in particular a pharmaceutical drug formulation, wherein the receiving chambers are arranged on the peripheral periphery of the blister packaging.
• the invention further relates to a blister pack with a base film and a cover film for forming a plurality of film containers which can be separated from each other by perforations, each having a receiving chamber for a product, in particular a pharmaceutically active ingredient formulation, wherein the quadrangular film containers are arranged in a matrix.
• foil containers serve to protect pharmaceutical active ingredient formulations against environmental influences from the outside, which under certain circumstances may influence the pharmaceutical quality of the active substance formulation, and generally consist of a cover foil and a bottom foil, wherein cavities for the filling material are formed in the bottom foil ,

• provisions for the infant-related packaging of medical products are being considered or already exist, in particular to make it difficult for children to access medicines that have a toxic effect or that represent a relatively high risk to health if used improperly.
• the object is achieved in that the center of the blister pack is formed by a detachable film section, after its removal, an opening area for opening the receiving chamber is present.
• the term "perforation" is understood to mean both an actual punching through of a material or a plurality of material layers or layers of the blister packaging and a material thinning, crease line, fold line, embossing marking or the like. Such perforations may be machined in the manufacture of the blister package to facilitate tearing or severing of individual film containers.
• the film section is expediently assigned a perforation running around it in a circular manner.
• the film containers can be separated segment by segment.
• the perforation between the film containers does not extend to the outer periphery of the blister package.
• unintentional tearing or separation of the film container along the perforations from the edge or periphery of the blister pack is effectively avoided. This allows a user the film container only from
• the film containers are arranged with the outer contour of a polygon, circle or oval to each other net.
• the arrangement allows a plurality of film containers to be assembled into a blister pack, wherein each film container can only be opened from the center.
• the object of the invention in a blister pack with a bottom foil and a cover film to form a plurality separable by perforations foil container, each having a receiving chamber for a product, in particular a pharmaceutical drug formulation, wherein the square-shaped film containers are arranged in a matrix, achieved that the Film containers are spirally separable, wherein between each two adjacent film containers partially the perforation and in the region of the perforation an opening area for removal of the filling material from the receiving chamber is present.
• Opening or the separation of the individual receiving chambers which are each filled with a pharmaceutical drug formulation specified.
• the film containers must be separated according to a certain order, which results in a spiral, so that the user reaches the opening area.
• the spiral shape is ensured for example by corresponding non-perforated areas between the film containers.
• Only one opening area is provided on each film container. Due to the unusual handling a parental control is realized, because the type of opening of the receiving chamber is unusual and thus difficult for a child. An adult, on the other hand, can easily grasp and accomplish the operations for opening the receiving chamber.
• the opening region is designed as a grip tab for removing the cover film.
• the cover film is not fully connected in the opening area with the bottom film or less firmly sealed.
• the cover sheet which rests relatively loosely on the bottom sheet or is relatively easy to peel off the bottom sheet in the opening area for opening the receiving chamber and for removal of the contents can be easily lifted by a user from the bottom sheet and peeled off or torn to the To be able to access contents in the receiving chamber.
• the opening region has a notch or a cut as weakening of the bottom foil and / or the cover foil.
• the notch or the cut extends centrally from an edge region of the film container in the direction of the receiving chamber.
• the foil container to remove the contents is torn up to the receiving chamber.
• the blister pack can be provided with appropriate labels or imprints consisting of digits, day of the week or the like to illustrate the correct order of removal of the contents of the receiving chambers.
• the bottom foil preferably consists of plastic, aluminum or a composite of these materials.
• the shape, size and number of the respective cavities of the receiving chambers in the bottom foil is matched to the male contents, such as a tablet or the like.
• a single blister pack may comprise a plurality of film containers with the corresponding number of receiving chambers.
• the bottom foil is, for example, on the side facing the product from an approximately 60 micron thick layer of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), followed by an approximately 45 microns thick aluminum foil, which in turn with an approximately 25 micron thick film of an oriented polyamide (oPA) is made.

• the individual film containers 1 are separable from one another by perforations 10 which emerge from the perforation 3, wherein the perforations 10 do not extend between the film containers 1 to the periphery of the blister packaging 7, thus separating the film containers 1 from the outside difficult and easy to accomplish from the direction of the center after removing the film section 4.
• the film section 4 To open the receiving chambers 2 of the film containers 1, the film section 4 must first be cut out in the center of the blister pack 7 along the perforation 3, which is formed continuously around its circumference. Subsequently, a user of the blister pack 7, the film container 1 separated by separating the star-shaped perforations 10 from each other, whereby the opening of the receiving chambers 2 is much easier.

Between each two adjacent film containers 1, a perforation 11 is in regions and in the region of the perforation 11 of the opening Area 5 for removing the filling material from the receiving chamber 2 is present, wherein the opening portion 5, as explained above, may be formed. In some areas of the blister pack 7 there is no perforation 11 between the film containers 1 to ensure spiral separation. In the areas without perforation 11, a material weakening of the bottom foil and the cover foil may be formed in order to make the separation of the foil container 1 difficult, but nevertheless possible. To illustrate the order of removal of the individual film containers 1, the blister pack 7 is printed accordingly with numbers 1 to 30.
