具有可操作翻盖的泡罩包装件Blister pack with operable flip lid

背景技术Background technique

泡罩卡片显示包装件通常用于零售销售中以容纳和显示小制品。此类包装件通常包括纸板卡片和塑性泡罩包装，该纸板卡片上印有产品名称和其它信息，该塑性泡罩包装容纳固定在卡片上的制品。此外，通常在卡片的顶部处安置孔穴，使得包装件可悬挂在小钉板显示器的延伸挂钉上。Blister card display packages are commonly used in retail sales to contain and display small articles. Such packages typically include a cardboard card with the product name and other information printed thereon and a plastic blister pack containing the product secured to the card. In addition, holes are typically placed at the top of the card so that the package can be hung from the extended pegs of the pegboard display.

泡罩包装件也常常用于容纳多个小型制品诸如片剂，每个制品都容纳在单独的泡罩部分内。参见例如美国专利7,866,476。然而，此类包装件需要大量的纸板来保护可破裂膜部分(当未使用时，该膜部分覆盖未使用的泡罩部分)，从而导致包装件厚且体积庞大。Blister packs are also often used to contain multiple small articles, such as tablets, each contained within a separate blister portion. See, eg, US Patent 7,866,476. However, such packages require a large amount of paperboard to protect the rupturable film portion (which covers the unused blister portion when not in use), resulting in a thick and bulky package.

本发明涉及包括多个泡罩部分的具有改善的泡罩包装件，这些泡罩部分包括可操作翻盖，该可操作翻盖允许接近覆盖泡罩部分的可破裂膜片材。The present invention relates to an improved blister pack comprising a plurality of blister portions including an operable flap that allows access to a rupturable membrane sheet covering the blister portions.
