A blister pack and package including such blister pack is described which
provides for package stability and self-indexing in relation to
adjacently aligned packages. The blister pack is configured to include at
least one compartment for enclosing an article, and an outward projecting
portion or foot in the bottom portion of the blister pack. The foot is
configured to have a width, depth and height sufficient to allow the
package to be freestanding and self-indexing. The package is especially
suited for use in a merchandise point-of-sale display including a
pressure applicator for maintaining displayed packages in a forwardmost
position in the display when one or more packages are removed from the
display. The foot provides for a predetermined stable spacing during
packaging and while in storage and on display, and provides for
self-indexing, i.e. maintenance of proper spacing, when a pressure
applicator moves the aligned packages forward in a display.
