ASTM D3475 Certified Packaging Built for Compliance
Certified child-resistant flexible packaging with dual-action zippers and high-barrier protection.
Child-resistant pouches are barrier pouches with a locking zipper that takes two separate actions to open, which adults manage easily and young children find hard. They are used for cannabis edibles, pharmaceuticals and household chemicals where packaging rules require child resistance, and they ship flat for filling and heat sealing.
Also called: CR pouches, child-proof pouches, child-resistant zipper bags, child-resistant stand-up pouches, CR zipper pouches.
These certified child-resistant pouches feature a dual-action locking zipper and multi-layer high-barrier films to secure regulated products while meeting strict safety standards. Engineered to comply with 16 CFR 1700.20 and ASTM D3475 guidelines, they protect volatile ingredients from moisture, oxygen, and light. Use them to package cannabis edibles, pharmaceuticals, or household chemical concentrates in a space-efficient, flat-shipping format.
Compliance and product integrity drive the design of our child-resistant pouches. Built with multi-layer barrier laminates and integrated dual-action locking zippers, these flexible containers prevent access by children under five years of age while remaining accessible for adults. This specialized design meets the strict testing requirements of the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA) under 16 CFR Part 1700.20 and ASTM D3475 standards.
Unlike rigid jars or molded plastic tubs, flat-shipping pouches reduce inbound freight costs and warehouse space. The multi-layer construction protects sensitive contents from degradation caused by light, moisture, and oxygen exposure. The secure zipper profiles, including pinch-and-pull and slide-lock tracks, provide a tight seal after opening, maintaining safety throughout the lifecycle of the product.
Brands across the cannabis, pharmaceutical, household chemical, and agricultural sectors rely on these pouches to meet legal requirements. The high-surface-area panels provide ample space for state-mandated warning labels, ingredient lists, and branding. We manufacture these pouches with custom dimensions and thickness configurations to match your automated filling lines or manual packaging workflows.

A tri-laminate structure featuring a matte oriented polypropylene outer layer for a non-reflective finish, a metallized PET core for gas and moisture resistance, and an LLDPE inner sealant layer. This combination provides structural puncture resistance and secure thermal sealing properties.
Base Premium
An extra-thick laminate designed for heavier fill weights and sharp-edged products. The thicker inner LLDPE layer prevents punctures from dry chemical granules, larger botanical stems, or compressed tablets while maintaining certified child resistance.
+5%
An ultra-high performance laminate with a true aluminum foil core layer. This option delivers a zero-transmission barrier against light, oxygen, and humidity, making it ideal for highly sensitive active chemical compounds and effervescent products.
+12%
Our thickest aluminum foil laminate, engineered for high-capacity industrial, agricultural, or veterinary chemicals. It combines maximum puncture resistance with a absolute barrier against ambient moisture and oxygen infiltration.
+18%
A tri-laminate incorporating natural, sustainably sourced Kraft paper as the exterior face, bonded to a high-barrier VMPET core and LLDPE food-safe sealant layer. This material provides an organic, tactile, and natural paper appearance without compromising child-resistant security.

Licensed producers and edible brands order child-resistant pouches in bulk, often one bag size across several products. Buying CR pouches wholesale keeps the same locking zipper and film on every SKU, and each printed design can be quoted at several quantities in one request.
Yes. Cubit makes child-resistant pouches to order in its own factory and quotes them factory-direct, so wholesale buyers deal with the manufacturer, not a reseller. Send your size, quantity and artwork, and we price your exact specification.
Price is per bag and depends on size, film, print colors, closures and quantity. The bigger the run, the lower the price per bag, because setup is spread over more bags. List several run sizes in your request, for example 5,000, 10,000 and 25,000, and we quote each one.
Yes. Large runs are where our factory is most efficient, and we quote orders of 100,000 bags and more. Tell us in your request if you need the order delivered in stages or repeated on a schedule.
