2. CR PACKAGING:
Child-resistant packaging or CR packaging is special packaging used to reduce
the risk of children ingesting dangerous items. This is often accomplished by the
use of a special safety cap.
It is required by regulation for prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications,
Nicotine Containing Electronic Cigarette devices or Refill containers that can
contain Nicotine EUTPD 36.7, pesticides, and household chemicals.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has stated in a press release that
"There is no such thing as child-proof packaging. So you shouldn't think of
packaging as your primary line of defense.
Rather, you should think of packaging, even child-resistant packaging, as your last
line of defense."
3. CR PACKAGING:
The aim of child resistant packaging is to keep little fingers out of products which
could harm them, while ensuring that adults can still open and close packaging easily.
The World Health Organization and UNICEF state that child resistant packaging is one
of the best-documented successes in preventing accidental poisoning of children.
A child resistant package usually requires a special ‘trick’ to open it – something too
complicated for most young children to work out. For example, users might have to
push or squeeze a lid at the same time as turning it. It’s also possible to make non-
reclosable packs, such as blister packs, child resistant by using very strong material or
covers that have to be peeled off. Several European standards have been developed to
help manufacturers design packaging that is
4. CR PACKAGING:
Difficulty opening:
Child-resistant packaging can be a problem for some aged individuals or people with
disabilities.
] Regulations require designs to be tested to verify that most adults can access the
package.
The regulations are based on protocols of performance tests of packages with actual
children, to determine if the packages can be opened. More recently,
additional package testing is used to determine if aged individuals or people with
disabilities have the ability to open the same packages.[
Often the CR requirements are met by package closures which require two dissimilar
motions for opening. Hundreds of package designs are available for packagers to
consider.
6. CR PACKAGING STANDARDDS:
The standards explain how to carry out objective tests of child resistance, helping
designers and makers ensure that most children can’t access poisonous products
The latest standard, BS EN ISO 13127:2012, introduces mechanical tests for
checking the safety of minor changes to existing child resistant packs
BS EN ISO 8317:2004 explains test methods for reclosable packs such as bleach
or medicine bottles
BS EN 14375:2003 covers non-reclosable packaging for pharmaceutical products
(for example blister packs of tablets) and BS EN 862:2005 covers non-reclosable
packaging for non-pharmaceutical products
9. Injection molding
MATERIAL USED - thermoplastics such as PolyEthylene(PE),
PolyProplene(PP), PolyVinyl Chloride(PVC), PolyStyrene(PS), Nylon,
PolyCarbonate(PC), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene Copolymer(ABS), etc.
11. FOLDING
Closures from injection molding has teeth of security ring outwards, which
can not be used directly. Thus we developed folding machine to push
those teeth inwards.
12.
13. SLITTING
closure slitting machine can perform closure sorting, feeding, slitting,
releasing to make the security ring of plastic closure automatically.
14.
15. DRIPPING
Plastic dripping machine is used to produce sealing liner for closure
(plastic closures only), thus the closure can seal well and prevent it from air
leakage or liquid leakage, even for carbonated soft drink.
16. PAD PRINTING AND STORAGE
Pad printing machine is used to print company logo on the top surface
(ONLY) of closure, thus to identify the closures or products from other
suppliers.
18. SAFETY MEASURES
• Call 999 for an ambulance
• Find out what, when and how much your child has swallowed
• Keep a sample or the container to show the ambulance crew
