Child-Resistant Mylar Bags
Child-resistant mylar bags certified to ASTM D3475 and 16 CFR 1700.20 standards protect children from accessing hazardous products while remaining easy for adults to open. Cubit offers four CR closure types — pinch-n-slide, press-to-close, push-turn, and tear-away seal — for cannabis, pharmaceutical, and chemical products. Custom printed with compliance certificates from 500 units.
Child-Resistant Closure Types
Pinch-N-Slide Zipper
Requires simultaneous pinching and sliding to open. The most widely accepted CR mechanism. Meets ASTM D3475 for senior-friendly operation while preventing child access.
ASTM D3475 + 16 CFR 1700.20Press-To-Close Button
Snap-button closure requiring coordinated force to open. Popular for cannabis flower bags and edible pouches. Highly durable for repeated use.
ASTM D3475Push-Turn Zipper
Two-step opening requiring a push motion followed by turning/sliding. Maximum child resistance rating. Ideal for pharmaceutical and high-compliance markets.
ASTM D3475 + CPSCTear-Away CR Seal
Tamper-evident initial seal with integrated CR zipper underneath. Provides both tamper evidence and child resistance in a single package.

Child-Resistant Bags FAQ
What certifications do your child-resistant bags have?
All Cubit CR mylar bags are certified to ASTM D3475 (Standard Classification of Child-Resistant Packages) and 16 CFR 1700.20 (CPSC Special Packaging Standards). Certificates of compliance are provided with every order for your regulatory records.
What CR closure types are available?
We offer four CR mechanisms: pinch-n-slide zipper (most popular), press-to-close button, push-turn zipper, and tear-away CR seal with tamper evidence. Each mechanism is independently tested and certified to meet ASTM D3475 requirements.
Are child-resistant bags also senior-friendly?
Yes. ASTM D3475 testing requires that 90% of adults (including seniors ages 50-70) can open the package within 1 minute. Our CR mechanisms balance child safety with adult accessibility — they're difficult for children but intuitive for adults.
What is the MOQ for custom CR mylar bags?
Custom printed child-resistant mylar bags start at 500 units with full-color printing included. CR bags with custom die-cut shapes start at 1,000 units. All orders include free compliance review and certificates of conformity.
Can CR mylar bags be resealable?
Yes. All our CR mechanisms are designed for repeated opening and closing. The child-resistant feature remains effective throughout the entire product lifecycle — not just the first opening. This is essential for cannabis products used over multiple sessions.
Do you provide compliance certificates?
Yes. Every CR bag order ships with a Certificate of Compliance documenting ASTM D3475 and 16 CFR 1700.20 certification. These certificates are accepted by state regulators in all legal cannabis markets and by FDA for applicable consumer products.
