Child resistant cap manufacturer

Children's safety is a concern for every family, and incidents of poisoning caused by accidental ingestion of medications occur from time to time. Choosing packaging with child-resistant caps for medicines can prevent children from easily opening the packaging in a short period, thereby reducing the risk of accidental ingestion.

Design Principle

Ordinary bottle caps can be opened simply by twisting, while child-resistant caps feature a special design. They consist of an inner and outer cap structure, requiring both downward pressure and rotation to open. This dual-action mechanism increases the difficulty of opening, thereby reducing the risk of children accidentally ingesting medication.

Compatible with Glass or Plastic Bottles

To match different bottle materials, child-resistant caps come with various liners, such as rubber, silicone, and LDPE. This allows the caps to be compatible with both glass and plastic bottles.

Moisture-Proof Integrated Cap

For solid medications, moisture resistance is crucial. Child-resistant caps utilize the space at the top of the cap to design a small compartment that can store desiccants. This helps absorb moisture inside the packaging, preventing the medication from becoming damp and deteriorating. However, caps for liquid formulations do not include this design.

Child-Resistant Cap Standards

In addition to meeting the basic packaging requirements for pharmaceuticals in different countries, child-resistant caps must also comply with international certification standards for opening mechanisms.

ISO 8317:2015 "Child-resistant packaging – Requirements and testing procedures for reclosable packages" is an international standard established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It is designed to evaluate and certify the child-resistant performance of product packaging. This certification ensures that the packaging effectively prevents child access while maintaining ease of use, particularly for elderly users.

ISO 13127:2012 "Child-resistant packaging—Mechanical test methods for reclosable child-resistant packaging systems" was developed by the ISO Technical Committee on Packaging (ISO/TC122) under the Subcommittee on Packaging Materials, Packaging, and Performance Requirements for Unit Loads (SC3). Officially published on February 28, 2013, this standard aims to verify the safety performance of child-resistant packaging through scientific and systematic testing methods, thereby protecting children from potential hazards.

Child-resistant caps play a vital role in safeguarding children and preventing accidental medication ingestion.
