Abstract
A combination includes a holder and a replaceable dispenser package. The dispenser package has an opening for dispensing one or more items from the package, and a resealable cap assembly covering the opening of the package. The resealable cap assembly includes a reclosable cap that may be opened for dispensing the one or more items from the package. The combination includes a holder for securing the dispenser package. The holder has a front wall with outer peripheral edges, and an aperture defined by inner peripheral edges of the front wall that are spaced inwardly from the outer peripheral edges of the front wall. The resealable cap assembly engages the inner peripheral edges of the front wall aperture for securing the dispenser package to the holder. In certain preferred embodiments, the resealable cap assembly may be press-fit into the aperture. In other preferred embodiments, portions of the resealable cap assembly may be slid into grooves adjacent the inner peripheral edges of the front wall aperture. The grooves may be formed in the inner peripheral edges of the front wall aperture.
