Abstract

A vial package includes a tray having one or more spaced apart openings disposed therein with dimensions corresponding to a lower portion of a vial, and a lid having one or more spaced apart openings disposed therein with dimensions corresponding to an upper portion of the vial. The one or more bottom tray openings and the one or more lid openings are arranged such that the vial when disposed within the package is securely held in place.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A vial package comprising: 
 a tray having one or more spaced apart openings disposed therein with dimensions corresponding to a lower portion of a vial; and    a lid having one or more spaced apart openings disposed therein with dimensions corresponding to an upper portion of the vial, wherein the bottom tray openings and the lid openings are arranged such that the vial when disposed within the package is securely held in place.    
   
   
       2 . The vial package of  claim 1 , wherein the dimensions of the one or more spaced apart openings disposed in the tray define a press fit or a close fit for a lower portion of the vial.  
   
   
       3 . The vial package of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more spaced apart openings disposed in the tray include an open central area and a vertically extending lip surrounding the open central area.  
   
   
       4 . The vial package of  claim 3 , wherein a height of the lip extends upward for a distance proportional to a height of the vial.  
   
   
       5 . The vial package of  claim 3 , wherein a height of the lip extends upward for a distance proportional to an outer dimension of the vial.  
   
   
       6 . The vial package of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more spaced apart openings disposed in the tray define a recess that extends below an upper surface of the tray.  
   
   
       7 . The vial package of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more spaced apart openings disposed in the tray define a recess that extends downward for a depth proportional to a height of the vial.  
   
   
       8 . The vial package of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more spaced apart openings disposed in the tray define a recess that extends downward for a depth proportional to an outer dimension of the vial.  
   
   
       9 . The vial package of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more spaced apart openings disposed in the lid have an opening dimension corresponding to an outer dimension of an upper portion of the vial.  
   
   
       10 . The vial package of  claim 9 , wherein the opening dimension defines a press fit or close fit for an upper portion of the vial.  
   
   
       11 . The vial package of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more spaced apart openings disposed in the lid have an open central area and a downwardly extending lip surrounding the open central area.  
   
   
       12 . The vial package of  claim 11 , wherein a height of the lip extends downward for a distance proportional to a height of the vial.  
   
   
       13 . The vial package of  claim 11 , wherein a height of the lip extends downward for a distance proportional to an outer dimension of an upper portion of the vial.  
   
   
       14 . The vial package of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more spaced apart openings disposed in the lid define a recess that extends above a lower surface of the lid.  
   
   
       15 . The vial package of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more spaced apart openings disposed in the lid define a recess having a depth proportional to a height of the vial.  
   
   
       16 . The vial package of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more spaced apart openings disposed in the lid define a recess having a depth proportional to a an outer dimension of an upper portion of the vial.  
   
   
       17 . The vial package of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of bottom tray openings are circular openings.  
   
   
       18 . The vial package of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more spaced apart openings disposed in the tray are circular openings.  
   
   
       19 . The vial package of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more spaced apart openings disposed in the lid are circular openings.  
   
   
       20 . The vial package of  claim 1 , wherein the lid has a concave shape so as to more securely hold the vials disposed within the package.
