A package includes a blank having a face panel and a back panel. The face panel includes apertures and face tabs. The back panel includes gates that correspond with apertures, and tab strips that overlap the gates and are adjoined to back tabs. The gates are defined by partial-depth cuts through the interior side of the back panel and have a generally wave-like or zig-zag shape that defines two opposed interlocking flaps. A blister pack is sealed between the face panel and the back panel whereby blisters align over gates and protrude through apertures. To remove an item from a blister, a tab is pressed out of the panels, a tab strip is peeled away from the back panel, and pressure is applied to force the item through the backing sheet of the blister pack and through the opposed flaps of the gate.
