Dispensing system

摘要

A dispensing system based on secondary packaging having side panels forming a tubualar form, top and bottom panels held substantially perpendicular to the side panels of the secondary package, and optionally including a stabilizing insert. Apertures in the top panel and posts in the bottom panel are provided to stabilize and support primary packages in the secondary package. The apertures in the top panel are sized to allow a primary package to be removed individually by passing through such aperture. Primary packages within the secondary package are biaxially supported between apertures in the top panel surrounding an elongated neck on the primary package and posts in the bottom panel that interlock with a depression in the bottom of the primary package. Such dispensing system can be opened and individual primary packages removed without exposing any other primary containers held within the dispensing system, while maintaining stable storage and transportation utility in the system.
