Abstract
A material dispensing tray having at least two wells or depressions, at least one well for containing a material to be dispensed and another well for receiving the applicating end of an applicator. The applicator well is provided with an opening through which the handle of the applicator is extended beyond the applicator well, and a cover sheet for sealing the material and the applicating end of the applicator within their respective wells so that the applicator is rendered releasably secured relative the dispensing tray. The material may be dispensed by removing a releasable cover to expose the material, or by squeezing the material well with cover in place so as to extrude the material from the material well to the applicator well and onto the applicating end of the applicator or by piercing the cover over the material well with a piercing point formed on the other or free end of the applicator to provide access to the material in the material well.
