Child resistant

Importance of child resistant packaging

Studies reveal that medicines are a leading cause of non-fatal poisoning incidents in numerous countries. The World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF report that poisoning is common among children aged 1 to 5 years, as they are curious and explore their environment using all their senses. Most unintentional poisoning cases occur in living rooms and during afternoons. Consequently, specially designed child resistant packaging is a crucial necessity.

What is child resistant packaging?

Child resistant packaging is designed to be difficult for children to open while remaining accessible for adults. It usually features unique locking mechanisms that demand a specific sequence of actions to open. This type of packaging is employed for products that could be harmful to children if ingested, such as medicines, chemicals and household products.

Innovative child resistant packaging

It is challenging to create something that is so simple, cost-effective and easy to produce. At the same time, it should be easy to open for everyone, except for children of course. That is why Ecobliss started the development of Locked4Kids cartons in 2013.

Beside the functional advantage, it is also the most economical solution: Locked4Kids is cost-effective. It offers cost-effective production of child resistant packaging, as it can be produced on standard cartoning equipment. This child resistant packaging has been developed for high-speed automated production on standard pharmaceutical packaging equipment, in which blister strips are loaded and then inserted into the packaging. The packaging is as fast as regular (non-child-resistant) packaging.
