A package with spreader is hermetically sealed for storing relatively stiff spreadable materials such as butter until ready for use. The package includes a base having a relatively stiff spreader blade partially defined by a blade spread side surface and an opposed base supply side. The base also includes a deformable blister for holding the spreadable material. The blister is open through the blade to its spread side surface and extends outwardly from the blade on the supply side of the base. A peelable membrane initially seals the butter inside of the blister by being in sealing relation to the spread side surface of the blade. A portion of the membrane is manually peelable from sealing relation with respect to part of the blade and uncovers a portion of the blister to provide a butter delivery opening through which the butter can be forced by digital pressure on the outside of the blister. The butter can then be immediately spread using the sealing side surface of the blade.

A package and spreader unit for spreadable material including: A. a base of sheet material having: (1) an elongate, relatively stiff, planar blade partially defined by a blade spread side surface and an opposed spaced-apart supply side of the base, said blade having a forward delivery end portion and a rearward handle end portion, and (2) a deformable blister adapted to initially encompass spreadable material, said blister being part of the supply side of the base and being open through said blade and extending outwardly from it on the supply side of the base; B. a planar membrane initially overlying the opening of the blister through the blade in sealing relation to the spread side surface of the blade around the blister to form a closed receptacle for the spreadable material, a first portion of said membrane adjacent the blade delivery end portion and in underlying relation to a portion of said blister immediately adjacent said blade delivery end portion being manually peelable from sealing relation with respect to said blade, and being frangible and removable from said blade and separable from a second remaining sealed portion of the membrane to provide an outlet for the spreadable material to the spread side surface of the blade.
