Abstract
Abstract An applicator package for storing and dispensing a fluid product comprises a housing defining an open-ended chamber. A compressible sponge-like dauber, saturated with the product to be dispensed, is mounted within the chamber and held in compression by a cover foil which overlies and hermetically seals the open end of the chamber. In use, the cover foil is peeled off to allow the dauber to extend through the open end of the chamber so that it can be brought into contact with the work surface. An outwardly extending flange may be provided about the periphery of the chamber opening to facilitate attachment of the cover foil and to protect the user from contact with the product.
