Abstract

A multiplicity of caps are aseptically stored in a rigid blister package, with each cap being releasably mounted on a retainer. A plurality of retainers are stored in the package. Each cap includes a clamping fin coupled to the cap skirt by a hinge which is releasably connected to that cap skirt by a pair of tear away joints and which is securely connected to the cap top wall by a living hinge which remains intact after the tear away joints are broken to release a cap from a bottle.
