A package comprises a latch including first and second legs and an actuating portion. The first and second legs are joined at an angle. The actuator portion of the first leg is positioned to be displaced generally laterally to displace the second leg generally longitudinally to release the latch. In another embodiment the package has base wells on the inside surface. A generally flat marginal sealing surface encircles the first and second base wells. The wells of the base and/or lid are covered with a cover sheet to close them. Still another embodiment is a child-resistant container comprising a shell, two drawers, a stop, and a latch. The drawers are prevented from sliding apart past a limit of travel when one drawer is open sufficiently to provide access to its contents and the other drawer is not.

1. A package comprising: a first shell portion;a second shell portion that removably affixes to the first shell portion to move the package between an opened position and a closed position, the second shell portion having a catch;a latch that engages the catch when the package is in the closed position, for releasably latching the first shell portion and second shell portion together, the latch having an end portion and an actuator portion, the actuator portion adapted to be displaced by a user to release the latch, allowing the package to move from the closed position to the opened position; anda button assembly that moves between a locked position that prevents displacement of the latch, and an unlocked position that permits displacement of the latch, allowing the package to move from the closed position to the opened position, wherein the button assembly further comprises at least one spring that biases the button assembly to the locked position. 2. The package of claim 1, wherein a portion of the button assembly abuts the end portion of the latch when the package is in the closed position, to prevent displacement of the latch. 3. The package of claim 2, wherein the button assembly includes a button, a tab, and a cavity, the tab positioned to be adjacent to the end portion of the latch when the button assembly is in the locked position to prevent the displacement of the latch, the button assembly configured to align the cavity with the end portion of the latch when the button assembly is in the unlocked position to allow the displacement of the latch. 4. The package of claim 1, further comprising a hinge that pivotally joins the first shell portion and the second shell portion, wherein the first shell portion and the second shell portion pivot about the hinge to move between the opened position and the closed position. 5. A package comprising: a first shell portion;a second shell portion that removably affixes to the first shell portion to move the package between an opened position and a closed position, the second shell portion having a catch;a latch that engages the catch when the package is in the closed position, for releasably latching the first shell portion and second shell portion together, the latch having an end portion and an actuator portion, the actuator portion adapted to be displaced by a user to release the latch, allowing the package to move from the closed position to the opened position; anda button assembly that moves between a locked position that prevents displacement of the latch, and an unlocked position that permits displacement of the latch, allowing the package to move from the closed position to the opened position, wherein the button assembly comprises a slot, and the first shell portion comprises a guide that slidably engages the slot to guide the button assembly between the locked position and the unlocked position. 6. A package, comprising: a first shell portion that forms a base of the package;a second shell portion that forms a lid of the package, the second shell portion being movable with respect to first shell portion to move the package between an opened position and a closed position, and including at least one catch; andat least one latch associated with the first shell portion, wherein the at least one latch engages the at least one catch when the package is in the closed position for releasably latching the first shell portion and the second shell portion together in the closed position;wherein, the at least one latch includes an actuator that is displaceable to move the at least one latch between a distended position and a depressed position, and movement of the at least one latch between the distended position and the depressed position disengages the at least one latch from the at least one catch, while driving the second shell portion away from the first shell portion to move the package from the closed position to the closed position;wherein the second shell portion includes a lid ramp, and the at least one latch includes a latch ramp that engages the lid ramp to drive the second shell portion away from the first shell portion;wherein the lid ramp includes an upper sloping surface and the latch ramp includes a lower sloping surface that mates with the upper sloping surface;further comprising a button that moves between a locked position and an unlocked position, wherein the button blocks displacement of the at least one latch when in the locked position;wherein the button comprises a spring that biases the button to the locked position. 7. The package of claim 6, wherein the latch ramp moves laterally with respect to the lid ramp when the at least one latch moves between the distended position and the depressed position, and the lower sloping surface translates lateral movement of the latch ramp to upward force applied to the upper sloping surface, to force the lid ramp away from the latch ramp and move the package into the opened position. 8. The package of claim 6, wherein the button comprises a tab that blocks the displacement of the at least one latch when in the locked position, and a cavity that aligns with the at least one latch when in the unlocked position, wherein the cavity receives a portion of the at least one latch when the at least one latch is in the depressed position.
