An insert package includes an insert and a container. The container is formed by assembling an upper housing member and a lower housing member, thereby creating a void bound by side walls and a closed end. The container includes rails or channels, and an open end with an engageable cover. When the cover is open, the open end provides access to the void. An insert can be passed into container through the open end. The insert is a package for storing and dispensing items, such as a blister card. The insert includes wings and the wings can include lugs or detents. The wings are designed to interface with the rails, to align the insert with the container during storage and dispensing of the items. A retainer in the container, and a retainer receiver on the insert (or vice versa) can selectively immobilize the insert. A release can disengage the insert and allow slideable movement of the insert into and out of the container.
