Abstract
An improved reusable blister package is provided which consists of a base member, a top member and a label sheet. The top member mateably engages the opening of the base member. The label sheet seals the package shut after manufacture and prior to purchase. The package is opened by pulling the label sheet and the top member out and away from the base member thereby tearing the label sheet along the upper and side portions of the top member. The label sheet located along the lower end of the top member remains untorn and provides a hinge mechanism connecting the lower end of the top member to the lower end of peripheral flange of the base member. The improved package provides an outwardly facing label sheet that is entirely available for graphic presentations of logos and other product indicia.
