Sometimes medicine becomes the most poisoning
accidents, household products and cosmetics. As the survey conducted by the World
Health Organization (WHO), Child-Resistant medicine packaging is one of the
best-documented solutions in preventing the accidental poisoning of children.
It also observed that pharmaceutical drugs are the leading cause of non-killing
poisoning in children in medium and high income Nations.
Child-resistant (CR) medicine packaging is being used to overcome the risk of poisoning in children via the
ingestion of potentially hazardous items including certain prescription and
over-the-counter (OTC) medications, pesticides, and household chemicals. According
to the US Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA), the term “Child-resistant”
means that packaging is designed or constructed to be very difficult for
children under five years of age to open or obtain a toxic or harmful amount of
the substance contained therein within a reasonable time and easy for normal
adults to use properly.
It doesn’t mean that children from this
category cannot open a CR-packaging within a reasonable time. The CR-packaging
is intended to be a last line of protection with safe and adequate storage of drug
being the first defensive measure in harm reduction.
The CR-closure for bottles and jars is
well known, so I made a selection of recent developments in CR-packaging
outside the bottle and jar sphere. I have 3 CR-designs for aerosols and/or
spray bottles, 2 recent launches of CR-folding cartons with blisters, a
CR-solution for flexible (stand-up) pouches and a CR-blister lidding option. It
will be a long story, so the 3 CR-designs for aerosols go to the next article.
In this one the folding cartons, the stand-up pouch and the blister lidding.
