Abstract

A childproof design for packages for tablets, pills and the like includes a conventional base foil provided with indentations or cups to receive the tablets. A cover foil is provided, as a seal, over the base foil. The package is rendered tamperproof by the inclusion of cavities in the base foil within which the cover foil can be grasped and peeled off but which are concealed and inaccessible until an individual tablet package is severed from the whole pack.
