Abstract

A reclosable dispenser is provided which includes an outer case having a cap hingedly attached to a rear wall of the case. A tray is fitted within and slidably removable from a pocket of the case. The tray can contain a plurality of swabs. An open face of the tray is juxtaposed against a front wall of the outer case. The reclosable dispenser can serve as a travel case carrying relatively small amounts of the swabs, laid within the tray, but protected by a relatively thick walled outer case.
