What Are Custom Child-Resistant Packaging?
Child-resistant packaging protects kids from accessing potentially harmful products — and protects your brand from regulatory exposure. We manufacture CR pouches, CR tubes, CR tins, CR bottles with push-turn caps, CR blister packs, and CR boxes with locking mechanisms, all certified to ASTM D3475 and 16 CFR 1700.20 testing protocols. Every format passes the required 80% child-fail / 90% adult-pass test criteria.
Compliance is non-negotiable. Federal law requires child-resistant packaging for pharmaceuticals, cannabis edibles, specific household chemicals, and nicotine products. State-level cannabis regulations (California BCC, Colorado MED, Oregon OLCC) add additional opacity, label, and resealability requirements. We track every state and federal regulation and update our product specs accordingly — so your packaging stays compliant as laws evolve.
CR packaging does not have to look clinical or generic. We print full-color CMYK on all CR formats, add soft-touch lamination, embossing, and spot UV to create shelf-ready retail packaging that happens to be child-resistant. Minimum orders start at 500 units for stock CR pouches and tubes, 1,000 units for custom printed formats. Production runs 10 to 15 business days.

Child-Resistant Packaging Formats
Choose from various structural formats to match your product and branding needs.
CR Mylar Pouch
Press-to-close zipper pouch with child-resistant pinch-and-slide mechanism. Opaque mylar film in white, black, or custom colors. Available from 1g to 1oz capacity. The most popular format for cannabis edibles and concentrates.
CR Pop-Top Tube
Hinged-lid tube with snap-lock closure requiring squeeze-and-pull to open. Available in 70mm, 94mm, 98mm, and 116mm lengths. Opaque plastic in black, white, and custom colors. Standard for pre-rolled cannabis products.
CR Tin Container
Metal tin with button-lock child-resistant lid. Push and rotate to open. Available in round and rectangular formats from 1oz to 4oz. Embossed lid printing or adhesive label decoration.
CR Push-Turn Bottle
HDPE or PET bottle with push-down-and-turn child-resistant cap. Standard pharmaceutical format meeting USP and CPSC requirements. Available from 1oz to 32oz with reversible CR/non-CR caps.
CR Blister Pack
Peel-push thermoformed blister with printed cardboard backer. Individual dose compartments require peeling the foil backing then pushing the product through. Standard for pharmaceutical unit-dose packaging.
CR Locking Box
Folding carton or rigid box with combination-lock, magnetic-lock, or slide-lock child-resistant mechanism. Full-color printed exterior. The premium option for high-value cannabis and pharmaceutical products.
Built With Quality
Detailed view of the materials we use.
Mylar Film (PET/AL/PE)
Multi-layer laminate film combining polyester, aluminum foil, and polyethylene. Provides oxygen, moisture, and light barrier critical for cannabis and pharmaceutical products. Opaque construction prevents children from seeing contents. 3.5 to 5 mil total thickness.
HDPE & PP Plastics
High-density polyethylene and polypropylene are the primary materials for CR tubes, bottles, and caps. Chemical resistance, impact strength, and consistent snap-fit properties make these materials ideal for child-resistant mechanical closures.
Tinplate Steel
Electrolytic tinplate steel with food-grade epoxy lacquer interior. Used for CR tins with button-lock lids. Excellent oxygen and light barrier. Durable construction survives repeated open-close cycles without degradation.
Folding Carton Board (SBS)
300-400gsm solid bleached sulfate board for CR locking boxes. Dense, rigid substrate supports precise mechanical closures. Accepts all printing methods and finishes for premium retail presentation.
Aluminum Foil Blister Lidding
Heat-sealable aluminum foil used as the push-through backing on CR blister packs. Provides complete light and moisture barrier for individual doses. Printed or plain finish options.
Printing & Finishing
Premium print methods and finishing options to make your packaging stand out.
Full-Color Digital Print
CMYK digital printing on CR pouches and boxes for short runs with no plate costs. Variable data capability for state-specific compliant labeling across different markets in a single run.
Flexographic Printing
High-speed multi-color printing on CR pouches and tubes at volume. Up to 8-color capability with consistent registration. Cost-effective for runs above 5,000 units.
Screen Printing on Tubes
1-4 color direct printing on CR pop-top tubes. Permanent ink that resists handling, moisture, and UV. Wraparound coverage with precise registration on curved surfaces.
Spot UV & Matte Lamination
Matte soft-touch base with glossy spot UV accents on CR pouches and boxes. Creates dimensional contrast that makes brand elements pop. Professional retail shelf presence.
Hot Foil Stamping
Gold, silver, and custom color metallic foil applied to CR boxes, pouches, and tins. Premium finish that signals quality. Available combined with embossing for maximum tactile impact.
Embossed Tin Lids
Custom embossed or debossed artwork pressed directly into the metal tin lid during manufacturing. Permanent 3D branding that survives indefinite handling and resists label wear.
Adhesive Label Application
Pre-printed pressure-sensitive labels applied to CR tubes, tins, and bottles. Full-color paper or synthetic labels with permanent adhesive. Fastest path to decorated CR packaging on stock containers.
Shrink Band Printing
Printed PVC or PET shrink bands applied over CR closures for tamper evidence. Full-color branded messaging or regulatory warning text. Tears away cleanly on first opening.
Unlimited Customization
Every inch of your packaging can be customized to match your brand.
State-Specific Compliant Panels
Pre-formatted regulatory panels for every state. THC diamond symbol, cannabinoid content tables, mandatory warning statements, and tracking number fields positioned per state-specific layout requirements.
Child-Resistant + Senior-Friendly
CR mechanisms tested to be difficult for children but accessible for seniors and people with dexterity limitations. Push-turn caps with textured grip surfaces and visual open-close indicators.
Sequential Tracking Numbers
Unique product tracking codes printed on every unit for seed-to-sale compliance in regulated cannabis markets. Scannable barcodes compatible with METRC, BioTrackTHC, and Leafly traceability systems.
Resealable Multi-Use Design
CR closures engineered for 100+ open-close cycles while maintaining child-resistance integrity. Essential for multi-dose medications and multi-serving cannabis products.
Custom CR Mechanism Design
Engineering custom child-resistant opening mechanisms unique to your brand. Patent-eligible designs that become a competitive differentiator. Full ASTM D3475 testing and certification included.
Combination Kits
CR outer packaging paired with non-CR inner containers — bottle inside a locking box, sachets inside a CR pouch. Multiple compliance layers for maximum safety and premium unboxing.
