Design highlights of child-proof bottles

Medicines play an important role in preventing, diagnosing, and treating diseases. They can eliminate diseases for patients under normal use. For children who have not yet perfect discrimination and weak resistance, once the medicine is taken by mistake, it is likely to cause serious consequences. Therefore, the use of child-proof bottles has become the choice of many pharmaceutical companies.

According to statistics from the World Health Organization, among the five common forms of accidental injury to children, poisoning by taking drugs by mistake is extremely common, and nearly a hundred children die in similar incidents every day in the world. Therefore, it has become a top priority for global pharmaceutical companies to reduce the harm caused by medicines to children through safe packaging in the form of child-proof bottles, and consumers are more willing to choose products with child protection functions when buying medicines.

The highlight of the packaging design of child-proof bottles is embodied in the bottle caps, which are divided into pull caps, pressure screw caps, and code caps. Among them, the application of pressure screw caps is more common. The bottle cap is composed of an inner and an outer double-layer structure, and the small cap of the inner layer and the large cap of the outer layer are connected by a card slot. To open this kind of bottle cap, you need to press the bottle cap first, make the small cap mesh with the approximate gear, and rotate it at the same time to open it. This opening method has certain difficulties for children who are still in the developmental stage, and can reduce the probability of accidentally ingesting medicines and protect children's safety.

For pharmaceutical companies, the safe storage and use of drugs is an important direction for future development. Preventing children from opening bottles is a key step in the packaging function of the pharmaceutical packaging industry. It promotes the safety of drug use while avoiding children's mistakes. The occurrence of drug-taking incidents is also conducive to the establishment of the brand image of pharmaceutical companies to a certain extent.
