A multi-layer medication carrier or blister card may comprise a plurality of layers. A support layer is provided with one or more openings to receive corresponding blisters formed in a blister layer. A backing layer is provided over the blister layer to form one or more enclosures capable of holding unit doses of a medication. Perforations provided in at least the blister layer define unit dose packages. Dimples may be provided in the blister layer within a boundary defined by the perforations, which dimples may be used to ensure subsequent ejection of each unit dose package. An adhesive-free region in the backing layer may be provided in alignment with the perforations defining each unit dose package to further ensure proper ejection. Additionally, a partial-depth cut in the backing layer may be provided in substantial alignment with each blister, thereby facilitating removal of the unit dose of medication.

What is claimed is: 1. A medication carrier comprising: a blister layer comprising a plurality of blisters arranged in a two-dimensional array, a ribbing between each of the plurality of blisters and a plurality of first perforations corresponding to the plurality of blisters, each one of the plurality of first perforations defining a boundary between the ribbing and an individually-ejectable, unit dose package comprising a corresponding blister of the plurality of blisters; and a backing layer, coupled to a first side of the blister layer such that the plurality of blisters and the backing layer form a plurality of enclosures each for holding at least one unit dose of a medicament, the backing layer further comprising a plurality of partial-thickness cuts through a thickness of the backing layer corresponding to and substantially aligned with the plurality of blisters. 2. The medication carrier of claim 1, each one of the plurality of blisters further comprising at least one dimple disposed within the boundary. 3. The medication carrier of claim 1, each one of the plurality of blisters further comprising at least one first web member interrupting a corresponding one of the plurality of first perforations and attaching the blister to the ribbing. 4. The medication carrier of claim 3, the backing layer further comprising a plurality of second perforations substantially aligned with the plurality of first perforations. 5. The medication carrier of claim 4, the backing layer further comprising, for each one of the plurality of second perforations, at least one second web member interrupting the second perforation. 6. The medication carrier of claim 4, the backing layer further comprising an adhesive applied to a second side of the backing layer facing the blister layer, except that a plurality of adhesive-free regions is provided corresponding to the plurality of second perforations. 7. The medication carrier of claim 1, each of the plurality of partial-thickness cuts substantially aligned with an opening perimeter of a corresponding one of the plurality of blisters. 8. The medication carrier of claim 1, further comprising: a support layer, coupled to a second side of the blister layer, comprising a plurality of openings, each of the plurality of openings configured to receive a corresponding one of the plurality of blisters. 9. A medication carrier comprising: a blister layer comprising a plurality of blisters formed therein, each of the plurality of blisters for holding a unit dose of a medicament, the blister layer further comprising a ribbing between each of the plurality of blisters and a plurality of first perforations corresponding to the plurality of blisters, each one of the plurality of first perforations defining a boundary between the ribbing and an individually-ejectable, unit dose package comprising a corresponding blister of the plurality of blisters; and a backing layer, coupled to the blister layer, comprising a plurality of second perforations substantially aligned with the plurality of first perforations and further comprising an adhesive applied to a side of the backing layer facing the blister layer, except that a plurality of adhesive-free regions is provided corresponding to the plurality of second perforations. 10. The medication carrier of claim 9, wherein each one of the plurality of adhesive-free regions includes a corresponding one of the plurality of second perforations. 11. The medication carrier of claim 9, the backing layer further comprising, for each one of the plurality of second perforations, at least one web member interrupting the second perforation. 12. The medication carrier of claim 9, the backing layer further comprising a plurality of partial-thickness cuts through a thickness of the backing layer corresponding to and substantially aligned with the plurality of blisters. 13. The medication carrier of claim 12, each one of the plurality of partial-thickness cuts substantially aligned with an opening perimeter of a corresponding one of the plurality of blisters. 14. The medication carrier of claim 9, each one of the plurality of blisters further comprising at least one dimple disposed within the boundary. 15. The medication carrier of claim 9, further comprising: a support layer, coupled to a second side of the blister layer, comprising a plurality of openings, each one of the plurality of openings configured to receive a corresponding one of the plurality of blisters. 16. The medication carrier of claim 9, the blister layer further comprising the plurality of blisters arranged in a two-dimensional array. 17. A medication carrier comprising: a blister layer comprising a plurality of blisters formed therein, the blister layer further comprising a ribbing between each of the plurality of blisters and a plurality of first perforations corresponding thereto, each one of the plurality of first perforations defining a boundary between the ribbing and an individually-ejectable, unit dose package comprising a corresponding blister of the plurality of blisters, each blister of the plurality of blisters further comprising at least one dimple disposed within the boundary; and a backing layer, coupled to a first side of the blister layer such that the plurality of blisters and the backing layer form a plurality of enclosures each for holding at least one unit dose of a medicament. 18. The medication carrier of claim 17, each blister of the plurality of blisters further comprising a plurality of dimples disposed within the boundary. 19. The medication carrier of claim 18, each blister of the plurality of blisters further comprising four dimples disposed within the boundary. 20. The medication carrier of claim 17, the at least one dimple disposed outside an opening perimeter of the blister. 21. The medication carrier of claim 17, the at least one dimple aligned to receive at least one pin of a punch used to eject each unit dose package. 22. The medication carrier of claim 17, the backing layer further comprising a plurality of partial-thickness cuts through a thickness of the backing layer corresponding to and substantially aligned with the plurality of blisters. 23. The medication carrier of claim 17, the backing layer comprising a plurality of second perforations substantially aligned with the plurality of first perforations, the backing layer further comprising an adhesive applied to a side of the backing layer facing the blister layer, except that a plurality of adhesive-free regions is provided corresponding to the plurality of second perforations.
