Abstract

A blister pack (10) for dispensing pills (34) that includes a substantially tear­ resistant housing (12) that encloses one or more blisters (16) contained on a blister sheet (14). In one embodiment, the cavities (38) of the blisters (16) are positioned such that the pills (34) are aligned at an angle with respect to the corresponding dispensing slots (27) on the housing (12) in their normal position. The blisters (16) are detachably attached to a zipper strip (17) on the blister sheet (14) to prevent undesired rotation of the blisters (16). Upon removal of the zipper strip (17), the blisters (16) may be twisted until their pills (34) are substantially aligned with their respective dispensing slot (27) to allow for the pill to be dispensed. Another embodiment comprises a clamshell package for (500) displaying and housing products that includes a substantially tear-resistant housing (506) that encloses a substantially transparent or substantially opaque display chamber (502, 600) by criss-cross grain material (560) to provide cut or tear resistance in multiple directions.
