PEELABLE POUCH CONTAINING A SINGLE OR MULTIPLE DOSAGE FORMS AND PROCESS OF MAKING SAME

摘要

A peelable pouch (50) for containing a single dosage product (P) having a top layer (100) joined to a bottom layer (200) by at least one seal (500) thereby creating a primary compartment (300). The primary compartment (300) houses the product (P), sealed from the exterior environment. The peelable pouch (50) includes a tear promoting surface condition (600) on the top layer (100) and the bottom layer (200) intersected by a fold-over line (700). When the pouch (50) is folded about the fold-over line (700) the tear promoting surface condition (600) permits a user to easily tear off a portion of the pouch (50) and expose a portion of the primary compartment (300) allowing the product (P) to be removed from the pouch (50). Alternative embodiments incorporate a product retention edge (350) that requires supplemental separation of the top (100) and bottom (200) layers to gain access to the product (P), as well as a secondary compartment (400) formed between the top (100) and bottom (200) layers.
