Abstract (en)
[origin: WO03037727A1] A reclosable package for storing elongated items, such as one or more sticks of chewing gum, includes a container having an opening for accessing an interior region of the container. The container has sidewalls that surround the interior region of the container and that extend from the opening toward a bottom wall of the container. The reclosable package also has one or more dividers disposed in the interior region of the container and extending between the container opening and the bottom wall. The one or more dividers define elongated slots adapted for receiving the elongated items in an upright orientation. A cap is hingedly connected to one of the sidewalls of the container. The cap is movable between a closed position in which the cap covers the elongated items stored in the container and an open position wherein the elongated items are accessible through the opening of the container. In certain preferred embodiments, the one or more dividers include a first set of spaced ribs extending from an interior surface of a first side wall toward an interior surface of a second opposing sidewall. In other embodiments, spaced ribs extend from two or more opposing sidewalls.
