Abstract

A package for a dental product, in particular for a prosthetic structure, has several product-receiving recesses which are formed in a product holder from the direction of the top face thereof. The product-receiving recesses are each spanned by a pull-off strip which is defined by a weakening and can be detached from a remaining area of a self-adhesive film affixed to the top face of the product holder. Applied to each pull-off strip there is a reference which identifies a product held in the product-receiving recess spanned by the pull-off strip.

Claims (9)

1. A package for a dental product, which package has a product holder comprising an upwardly open product-receiving recess, and a film arranged on the product holder and which spans the product-receiving recess and has a pull-off strip to permit removal of the product, wherein the film has a weakening that delimits the pull-off strip, and said pull-off strip can be completely removed, the pull-off strip also bearing an individual reference assigned to the product and being made self-adhesive on a side directed toward the product-receiving recess, and wherein said self-adhesive side of the pull-off strip is covered by a detachable protective film which protrudes past the pull-off strip thereby forming a tab.

2. The package of claim 1 , wherein the film is self-adhesive across its entire surface on the side directed toward the product holder and wherein the self-adhesive surface is affixed to the product holder.

6. The package of claim 1 , wherein the product holder has an auxiliary product-receiving recess which is spanned by the film and has an opening tab to permit removal of the auxiliary product, the opening tab being defined by a further weakening of the film.

7. The package of claim 6 , wherein the product holder has several auxiliary product-receiving recesses that are each spanned by the film, and wherein the film has one opening tab per auxiliary product-receiving recess, to permit individual opening of each auxiliary product-receiving recess.
