Abstract
A container is provided for storing and dispensing consumer products including pills, tablets, or capsules. A multi-cavity container is also provided for organizing and storing mixed medication for subsequent dispensation according to predefined dosage regimen. The container can comprise a tray (1) having a generally planar top surface (2) into which has been formed one or more discrete cavities (30) for receiving the consumer products. A sheet (10) can be adhered to top surface (2) using a peelable adhesive to seal discrete cavities (30). Sheet (10) can comprise pre-formed lines of separation (13) defining a closure portion (12) for each cavity, which retains the consumer products in that cavity until the closure portion is removed by separation along its lines of separation. Each closure portion (12) can have low vapor transmission properties created by a patch (24) having high vapor barrier properties.
