It almost looks like the packaging of the patch was designed for potential cutting.

There are notches on both sides of the external paper within which the patch is stored, that fit together so you can be sure you're getting half. There is also a pair of notches in the other side, which you can fold. To be absolutely more confident you could cut small notches on the sides opposite the last set of notches.

This will make sense if you look at an individual patch. There are four small notches opposite one another on two sides of the paper container. These are on the sides, and on the top and bottom right. These match up. If you fold it at the notches, the two other notches fit, but to see the fit, you need to cut through where they fit together to see it clearly Then you can see the quarters. (Sorry that this description isn't precise. I can try again later, if it's not cleear what I mean.)

Also, the perforation in the sticky side of the actual patch (as opposed to the outer container) is exactly 1/3rd of the whole patch, so if you cut that off you get 2/3rds/1/3rd, or, you can get three 1/3rd pieces of equal size (I did this this am, with the 12 mg patch). This is a little harder, but not much.
