BLISTER PACKAGE PREVENTING COLORANT TRANSFER

A blister package for an electrochemical cell having a water-soluble coating on at least one terminal. The package comprises a first plastic panel and a second plastic panel. The second plastic panel is secured to the first plastic panel such that a cavity is defined having a closed planar side opposite the open side and parallel with at least one of the first planar portion or the second planar portion. The cavity may include a substantially cylindrical sidewall that extends between the closed planar side and one of the first planar portion or the second planar portion surrounding the cavity. The cavity includes a standoff post having a distal end extending into the cavity and spaced away from the sidewall to define an unoccupied volume surrounding the standoff post and spaced apart from the other of the first plastic panel or the second plastic panel to define a battery-placement cavity.
