Abstract

A system for packaging, storing and dispensing discrete quantities of fluid has front and back sheets of fluid impervious material bonded together along seal lines to define a plurality of tubular containment channels including fill ports and discharge ports, and to define a filling manifold including a common fill port connected by a conduit to the separate fill ports. Each discharge port is provided with a frangibly capped, hollow dispensing tube and the seal lines further define cuffs releasably sealed about the dispensing tubes. After the channels are filled with fluid introduced at the common fill port, the sheets are further bonded to close the fill ports, and the filling manifold portion is removed. The remaining portion can then be separated at perforations into individual packets which can be separately dispensed by removing the cuff seal, inserting the dispensing tube into a destination container, surrounding the container mouth with the cuff to avoid contamination, and breaking the frangible cap to open the discharge port. Stiffeners with pull tabs are provided to separate the cuff flaps.
