A condom display and storage system simulates an audio cassette display and storage system which facilitates unobtrusive display of condoms for sale in retail stores and personal storage of condoms at an easily accessible location. The condom display and storage system includes a display and storage case having first and second parts pivotally connected together and movable between opened and closed positions, an insert card received in a shelf of the first part of the case, and a plurality of condom containers stacked within the shelf and insert card of the case.

In combination with an alkaline and aspirin combination compound the improvement of a package which serves as both a shipping container for an individual dosage of such medication and at least one of a mixing vessel for mixing such individual dosage with a requisite volume of a liquid solvent and for serving as a drinking cup. The package includes a back portion formed of a material impervious to such liquid solvent and a front portion, also formed of a material impervious to such liquid solvent, overlaying such back portion. Such front portion and such back portion being joined together substantially at a common periphery to form a closed envelope structure with such individual dosage sealed within such closed envelope structure between the front portion and such back portion. This envelope structure adapted to be opened at one edge to convert it to an open-topped envelope structure. Additionally, the front portion and the back portion are adapted to be bowed apart at least sufficient to effect a predetermined volume within such open-topped envelope structure. Such open-topped envelope structure having such volume therein adapted to receive such requisite volume of liquid solvent thereto to be admixed with and dissolve such medication therein and be retained within this open-topped envelope structure.

A dispensing-envelope apparatus consisting of a transparent and hermetically closed drug pocket for small medications or drugs mounted on the front side and lower half of the apparatus. The envelope is designed to pass through a computer-output printer for the reception of printed information or data on the front side and upper half of the apparatus. The printed information is located in an area above the pocket and includes file index information located on the top printed line of the apparatus. The top side of the pocket is closed by a semi-permanent closure with means for easy opening and for reclosing by humans or by machine. When open, the pocket may be filled with drugs by gravity. The drugs in the pocket are dispensed to a patient in accordance with the information provided on the apparatus.

The present invention provides an envelope comprising an envelope body including a pair of sheet-shaped constructural pieces which provide a front surface and a back surface, respectively, and are connected to each other to form an opening at at least one side, and a fixing portion for preventing relative movement between the pair of sheet-shaped constructural pieces in a facial direction.

A mailer intermediate is formed from a sheet having at least one transverse fold line dividing the sheet into a first panel and a second panel such that the first panel longitudinal dimensions are equal to, or exceed the second panel longitudinal dimensions. The second panel is folded over onto the first panel. A temporary tacking agent is applied to the face of the sheet to temporarily tack down the folded over, transverse edge of the lower panel. The mailer intermediate may be processed in this pre-folded condition according to the user's variable imaging needs because there are no loose edges to catch in printer output stacking trays, or jam in internal components of printers. The longitudinal edges of the return envelope panel may be permanently sealed prior to printing, or may be sealed later during processing through folder/sealer equipment.
