Disposable swab-type applicator package

A disposable swab-type applicator package comprises a strip of one or more packaging units each having an applicator, a tray with a generally flat top surface and a shallow applicatorreceiving recess extending downwardly from the top surface in a contoured configuration for accommodating the applicator and a stripable cover for the tray secured to the top surface for enclosably sealing the recess and preventing contamination of the applicator stored therein. The applicator is provided with an absorbent wad and a spaced sealing ring and the recess includes a liquid storing bulb portion accommodating the applicator''s absorbent wad. The recess also provides a sealing surface adapted to cooperate with the applicator''s sealing ring to isolate the bulb portion of the recess from the remainder thereof and restrict the flow of liquid into the remainder of the packaging unit.
