A method for packaging a lateral flow detection housing (47, 147, 247, 347) and a lateral flow detection test strip (22a, 122a, 222a, 322a), comprising: an elongated first web (14, 114, 214, 314) containing a thermoformable material;
thermoforming a plurality of spaced recesses (28, 128a, 228, 328a) in the elongated first web (14, 114, 214, 314); and providing a lateral flow detection test strip (22a, 122a, 222a, 322a). The method involves supplying a
lateral flow test strip (a, 122a, 222a, 322a) that is held in a recess (28, 128a, 228, 328a) by attaching a second web (18, 118, 218, 318) to a first web (14, 114, 214, 314), and
cutting the attached web to separate the held
lateral flow test strip (22a, 122a, 222a, 322a) into packages (47, 147, 247, 347). The elongated second web (118, 318) may comprise a thermoformable material, and the method further includes
thermoforming spaced features, such as recesses (128b, 328b), on the elongated second web.
