Product Overview

About Child-Resistant Boxes

Custom Child-Resistant Boxes (also known as CR locking boxes, push-and-release slide boxes, or certified child-resistant cartons) are safety-engineered packaging solutions designed for cannabis edibles, pharmaceuticals, concentrates, vape kits, and wellness supplements. Certified to ASTM D3475 and CPSC 16 CFR 1700.20 standards, these boxes feature two-hand locking buttons, pinch-to-release tabs, or hidden locking mechanisms that prevent children under 5 from accessing contents while remaining easy for seniors to operate.

Child-resistant boxes are ASTM D3475 certified rigid packaging with push-button or slide-lock mechanisms designed so that children under 5 cannot open the package within a 5-minute testing window, while 90% of adults aged 50–70 can open and resecure it easily. Cubit provides certificates of compliance with every CR box order and coordinates third-party lab testing for custom designs.

Our certified CR locking boxes utilize patented push-and-release mechanisms—such as dual side-push buttons, hidden internal locking tabs, or pinch-to-slide trays. Built from heavy 18pt to 24pt paperboard or 1200 GSM rigid chipboard, these boxes combine 16 CFR §1700.20 compliance with a premium DTC unboxing experience for cannabis, pharmaceutical, CBD, and wellness brands.

Customization

Rigid Chipboard (1200gsm)

Rigid Chipboard (1200gsm)

Premium-grade 1200gsm chipboard delivers maximum crush resistance and a luxurious hand feel. The dense, multi-layered board provides exceptional structural integrity for push-button and slide-lock CR mechanisms. Ideal for high-end cannabis brands and pharmaceutical packaging where perceived quality drives purchase decisions.

SBS Paperboard (C1S 18pt)

SBS Paperboard (C1S 18pt)

Solid Bleached Sulfate paperboard with a clay-coated one side finish provides the brightest white surface for vivid, high-fidelity CMYK printing. The 18pt caliper maintains rigidity while keeping wall thickness slim. FDA-approved for direct food contact, making it suitable for edibles and pharmaceutical applications.

Kraft Corrugated (E-flute)

Kraft Corrugated (E-flute)

E-flute corrugated kraft board combines lightweight construction with reliable impact absorption. The 1.5mm micro-flute profile creates a slim wall that reduces dimensional weight shipping costs while maintaining crush protection during transit. FSC-certified and 100% curbside recyclable.

Recycled Grayboard (1000gsm)

Recycled Grayboard (1000gsm)

Made from 100% post-consumer recycled fiber, grayboard delivers excellent rigidity at a lower cost than virgin paperboard. The characteristic gray surface with visible fiber flecks signals sustainability to eco-conscious consumers. Accepts all standard print and finish treatments.

White Coated Duplex Board (350gsm)

White Coated Duplex Board (350gsm)

Duplex board features a bright white coated exterior over a gray recycled interior, offering budget-premium performance. The coated face delivers crisp print quality while the recycled back reduces material cost. A practical choice for mid-volume cannabis and CBD brands scaling their packaging.

Black Rigid Board (1200gsm)

Black Rigid Board (1200gsm)

Through-dyed black rigid board eliminates the need for full-surface ink coverage, delivering a deep matte black aesthetic straight from the substrate. White ink, metallic foil, and spot UV finishes pop dramatically against the black base. The premium choice for luxury cannabis brands and high-end vape packaging.

Micro-flute Corrugated (F-flute)

Micro-flute Corrugated (F-flute)

F-flute corrugated board provides the thinnest wall profile at just 0.8mm while maintaining meaningful crush resistance. The ultra-fine flute pattern creates an almost-smooth surface suitable for high-quality direct printing. Ideal for slim CR box designs where wall thickness affects product fit.

Linen-textured Board

Linen-textured Board

Specialty board with an embossed linen weave pattern creates immediate tactile differentiation on shelf. The cross-hatch texture adds perceived luxury value without additional finishing costs. Available in white, natural, and black base colors. Popular with boutique dispensaries and premium wellness brands.

Child-resistant packaging is evaluated under Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA) protocols per CPSC 16 CFR 1700.20 and ASTM D3475. Third-party testing panels test children under 5 and seniors aged 50–70 to verify that the box successfully blocks child entry while allowing senior access.

The exterior box sleeve features two flexible side-push buttons aligned with internal locking tabs on the inner drawer. Opening requires pressing both side buttons simultaneously while pulling the drawer forward—a multi-step dexterity motion that young children cannot coordinate.
