Child resistant pouches
The U.S. Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA) of 1970 defines child resistant packaging as – “Significantly difficult for children under five years of age to open or obtain a toxic or harmful amount of the substance contained therein within a reasonable time and not difficult for normal adults to use properly.”
The risk associated with the accidental ingestion of hazardous materials by kids, has long influenced research and innovation in packaging design to create child resistant solutions. Child resistant packaging is defined as special packaging solutions, the contents of which cannot be accessed by kids under the age of 52 months, by virtue of their design. However, it is also important that the same can be used properly by adults, up to 70 years of age.
The idea of child resistant packaging is not very old. Child resistant reclosable packs have been in the market since the mid-1970s, and were first introduced in the U.S. The same were exported to European countries and have achieved high acceptance, across the world. Since their inception, child resistant pouches have undergone improvement at design levels. The ultimate objective of design level innovations in child resistant pouches is to increase the resistance to opening of the packs by kids, yet maintaining a consumer-friendly design, which can be easily handled by adults.
