Innovative Designs for Child-Resistant Packaging

Are new parents a large part of your target audience?Obviously, parents are always worried about their children and try to keep them away from all hazards. Colorful and bright packaging usually attracts children a lot more than you might think!

Children's safety is a constant concern for parents, making child-resistant packaging an essential. Custom packaging can be made child-resistant (CR) to ease parents' worries.Medicines, cosmetics, household chemicals, etc., should be kept out of reach of children.  Here are a few ways your brand can introduce child-restraint packaging to your product packaging in a budget-friendly way:

Imagery That Attracts The Eye:
For a toddler, a shiny, colorful box can be appealing. A child who is constantly exploring new things might not hesitate to try out this new packaging box. If your product is inside the packaging, it may be fragile and fall, possibly causing injury.The packaging of manufacturing companies should be comparatively less attractive and highly secure to prevent such an incident from happening.

For brands with a younger target audience, matte finishes and minimalistic colors like white, brown, and green can be used in custom printed boxes with less bling. There will be no hazardous incidents if these earthy tones are used instead of yellow and orange. As a result, child-resistant packaging (CRP) will gain credibility and provide ultimate safety.

Packing Size Should Be Increased:

From crawling to walking, it doesn't take long for a newborn to start running and grabbing everything within reach. Child-friendly packaging is recommended for more secure products.  Shelf space isn't a problem!To prevent children from reaching the product packaging, use a custom packaging box that is slightly larger than a regular-sized box. As child-resistant (CR) packaging can be customized to fit a range of sizes, we have focused on using it. Countries can choose from a variety of shapes, sizes, and styles.

If a user requires two fingers to open a container, it should now be customized to fit an adult's fingers. When combined with force, this strategy would make it more difficult for a child to open the package. Smaller containers are easier for small hands to open.Custom inserts in a magnetic closure box will be like a puzzle for a toddler, since opening a magnetic box is different from opening a traditional packaging box.

Opening Difficulty:

Since a child's curiosity knows no bounds, it's better to be cautious than sorry. In the case of child-resistant packaging, such as the glass serum bottle, or the direct packaging of the product, it is fine to use the product around children, but if it is not, it must have a strong secondary packaging.

If something is too difficult to handle or requires too much energy, a toddler may abandon it if they become tired of exerting effort.With custom boxes, brands can choose a sturdy and reliable material that is hard to grip and makes it difficult for toddlers to open, such as a custom snap-lock box made out of cardboard or corrugated sheet that is hard enough to keep your items safe and secure from even drops and falls.

Labeling Warnings:

A child can't read, but their parents can, therefore, a child should be protected from things that can cause health hazards, such as cuts, allergies, and choking. By using custom packaging solutions, brands can make their packaging child-resistant to prevent such incidents from happening.When it comes to lotions, creams, medicines, and glass products, using custom labels or sleeves has its advantages. 

There can be taglines like “I am fragile” or “Handle with Care” or “not for children”. By doing this, the adult will be more aware of the dangers of using these items around a child.In addition, custom packaging labels, sleeves, and stickers can be customized to any extent a brand wants, which is quite helpful for providing important information along with being careful and protected.

Packaging Test:

You can also test packaging samples to see if they are appropriate for your brand. Packaging providers also test custom packing boxes to determine their strength.To ensure that the packaging is child-resistant, several tests can be used, such as a robotic arm test set to the strength of an average toddler. 

When the packaging is thrown or dropped, pressure and tear tests can also be used to determine its grip and damage resistance.In order to determine whether the packaging is child-resistant, the force applied to test it will help determine if the child can exert that force.
