Intini discloses a child-resistant tamper-evident package
adapted to contain unit dose capsules or like products (column

having a plurality of capsule receiving pockets 22 therein. A
thin backing film 20, which is rupturable under pressure, is
adhered to the back of the blister pack layer. The blister
pack layer is sandwiched between an outer front layer 12 and
an outer back layer 14 which may be formed of a single
integral member with a fold line or of separate pieces. The
blister pack layer 18 is sized to be smaller than the outer
front and rear layers 12, 14 so that layers 12, 14 may be
sealed together to form an envelope about the blister pack
layer.
