Child Resistant
A child resistant (CR) box uses a locking mechanism that adults can open but children under 51 months cannot. The standard test is 16 CFR 1700.20, which requires that at least 85% of tested children fail to open the package within 5 minutes and at least 90% of adults aged 50-70 succeed. Common CR mechanisms include push-and-turn closures, squeeze-and-slide lids, and button-press locks integrated into the carton structure. The cannabis edibles market drives most CR box demand because state regulations require opaque, tamper-evident, resealable packaging that does not appeal to children. CR boxes also cover pharmaceutical blister packs, nicotine products, and household chemicals. Packaging must include documented test results from a CPSC-accredited laboratory. Cubit produces ASTM D3475-classified child resistant boxes starting at 100 units in SBS and rigid board.
