Child-Resistant Packaging

Child-resistant packaging is the first line of defense against accidental ingestion, keeping young children safe from medications, chemicals, and supplements. Ashland Container brings over 50 years of experience in child safety packaging, helping you find solutions that meet safety standards and deliver the quality your brand demands.

Our Child-Resistant Packaging Materials

Materials used in packaging directly influence durability, product compatibility, and regulatory compliance. Here's an overview of the main materials we use at Ashland Container:

High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)

Robust chemical resistance and impact strength make HDPE ideal for pharmaceutical tablets, cannabis products, and household chemicals, available in natural white or custom colors.

Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)

Flexible and squeezable properties provide excellent dispensing control for liquid products, tinctures, and specialty formulations requiring precise application.

Polypropylene (PP)

Superior clarity combined with excellent moisture barrier properties protects vitamins and supplements while allowing product visibility through transparent walls.

Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)

Lightweight yet durable material offers exceptional clarity and chemical resistance, perfect for liquid medications, supplements, and cannabis concentrates requiring premium presentation.

Glass

Premium inert material prevents product interaction and flavor migration, paired with certified child-resistant closures for pharmaceutical-grade protection and upscale brand presentation.

Sustainable Alternatives

Post-consumer recycled (PCR) content and eco-friendly material options that maintain full child-resistance certification while reducing environmental impact.

Forms and Types of Child-Resistant Containers

To prevent accidental access by children while still making access convenient for adults, ensure full regulatory compliance, and support distinctive brand identity, you have several child-resistant packaging options:

  • Push-and-Turn Containers

    This is a classic mechanism requiring simultaneous downward pressure and rotation. It’s available in versatile sizes from 6 dram to 60 dram for pharmaceutical tablets, cannabis flower, and supplement applications.

  • Squeeze-and-Turn Bottles

    The advanced dual-action system demands coordinated side-panel squeezing while turning the cap. It provides enhanced security for liquid medications, tinctures, and concentrated formulations.

  • Child-Resistant Wide-Mouth Jars

    These large-opening containers feature certified safety closures that enable easy product access for adults while preventing child entry. They’re perfect for edibles, topical creams, and vitamin gummies.

  • Dropper Bottles with Child-Resistant Closures

    Precision dispensing bottles have glass or rubber bulb dropper assemblies paired with certified child-resistant caps. This option is perfect for essential oils, CBD tinctures, pharmaceutical liquids, and beauty serums needing controlled application.

  • Flip-Top Vials

    These compact hinged-lid designs require specific thumb pressure and lifting motion. They work well for prescription medications, sample distribution, and pharmaceutical compliance programs.

  • Child-Resistant Pouches

    Flexible packaging with certified zipper or resealable closures. They’re engineered for cannabis retail, pharmacy point-of-sale, and portable product distribution requiring lightweight safety solutions.

  • Child-Resistant Tubes

    Squeeze tubes with certified safety caps provide secure packaging for creams, ointments, and gel formulations while maintaining easy dispensing for adult users.

  • Custom Child-Resistant Designs

    Proprietary container shapes and closure mechanisms were developed to meet specific product requirements and brand aesthetics while maintaining complete CPSC certification and safety compliance.
