Child Resistant Packaging
Child Resistant Packaging Ensures Your Product Is Compliant and Safe
If your product is potentially dangerous to children, you need to make sure your packaging is child resistant, designed for safety, and adheres to the regulations outlined by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Child resistant packaging isn’t just a packaging add-on; it’s used as a poison prevention method to stop children from ingesting dangerous items, including household chemicals, prescription drugs, over the counter medications, and other dangerous household substances.
Though the standard classification of a child is defined as a child five years of age or younger, CRP testing firms have found that child resistant lids and containers will likely keep even older children out of the packaging for a reasonable time. You may want to do additional testing on your own to be sure.
Child resistant packaging comes in a variety of zipper formats from press to close zipper exit bags to stand up pouch zippers or packaging with child resistant lids. All styles manufactured by a CRP manufacturer require two-handed dexterity to open the non reclosable packaging. Adults have no problem opening and accessing the contents, but it is extremely difficult for children to do so.
All our child resistant pouches are smell proof and designed to be opaque, keeping the contents hidden from view, as required by many state laws and pesticide programs. Regardless of your industry or product, we have the right child proof packaging for you. In many cases, this packaging is the last line of defense between a happy child and a child that requires medical attention due to coming in contact with a harmful substance.

Child Resistant Zippers + Features
Child Resistant Zippers to Keep Your Household Chemicals Sealed
The law requires that the special tamper evident style of zipper designed to be difficult for children to open so a child never gains access without supervision. Child resistant zippers have come to prominence with the increased legalization of cannabis, but they have long been used in pharmaceuticals as a poison control mechanism to help protect children from ingesting household substances and resulting serious illness. The goal of a child resistant zipper is to protect kids from appealing, but dangerous, products while allowing the consumer to use the product when needed per its intended use. This is a joint undertaking between manufacturers and parents.
Types of Custom Printed Child Proof Packaging
Single Use Child Resistant Packaging
Single use child resistant packaging is designed to resist opening by children until the bag has been opened by an adult. Single use child resistant packaging is substantially less expensive than "life-time" and is permitted in some states for things like cannabis flower. Essentially, it allows easy access by adults but makes it significantly difficult for children to access.
"Life-time" Child Resistant Packaging
Life-time child resistant packaging as it is called in some states is a bag that includes a re-closable zipper which is resistant to children opening it when properly resealed. This type of sustainable packaging is required by some states for things like edibles, THC gummies, cannabis medications, and other uses.
