Custom Child-Resistant Packaging

Child-resistant (CR) packaging is designed to be significantly difficult for children under 5 to open, while remaining accessible to adults. In the US it's certified against ASTM D3475 or the Poison Prevention Packaging Act protocol (16 CFR 1700.20), which require a panel of children to be unable to open the package within set time limits. Common CR mechanisms include press-and-slide zippers, push-and-turn lids, and squeeze-to-open closures.

Yes. Every US state with legal cannabis requires child-resistant packaging for products sold to consumers, and many require it to remain CR after opening (resealable/re-closable CR). Specific rules — opacity, labeling, single vs multi-use CR — vary by state. Cubit matches your certification and labeling to the states you sell in.

Cubit produces custom child-resistant packaging from 250-500 units depending on format (tins from 250, mylar bags and pouches from 500, exit bags from 1,000). That's low enough for new brands and single-SKU launches while staying fully certified.

ASTM D3475 is the standard test for classifying child-resistant packages. Certification means the closure was tested with a panel of 50 children (aged 42-51 months) and a panel of adults, and met the pass rates for child difficulty and adult accessibility. Cubit's CR closures are tested to this standard — ask for the certification documentation with your quote.

Yes. All Cubit CR formats — mylar bags, pouches, exit bags, tins, and tubes — take full-color custom printing with your branding, compliance panels, warning symbols, and QR/COA codes. Child resistance comes from the closure mechanism, so it never limits your artwork.

Certified CR mylar bags (foil barrier), stand-up CR pouches, opaque dispensary exit bags, push-and-turn metal tins, CR tubes for pre-rolls, and CR folding boxes. Each uses a different certified closure suited to the product — we'll recommend the right one for your item and state.

Yes — certified CR designs are tested for both child resistance AND adult accessibility (the 'senior-friendly' requirement), so adults aged 50-70 can open them without difficulty. This dual requirement is part of the ASTM D3475 and 16 CFR 1700.20 protocols.

Standard production is 12-15 business days after proof approval (CR formats need extra QA), with rush options available. Free USA shipping is included. Request a quote and we'll confirm lead time for your specific format and certification needs.
