Child-Resistant Package Design
Package safety incidents involving children remain a significant concern, with over 85,000 cases of accidental exposure to household chemicals and medications reported annually in the US alone. Current child-resistant packaging standards require that 85% of children under age 5 cannot open a package within 5 minutes, while 90% of adults between 50-70 years must be able to open it within the same timeframe.
The fundamental challenge lies in creating mechanisms that effectively discriminate between adult and child interactions while maintaining accessibility for seniors and those with limited dexterity.
This page brings together solutions from recent research—including deformable cap regions with rib-slot engagement, stretchable aluminum foil designs for blister packs, asymmetric seal mechanisms, and sensory deterrent features. These and other approaches focus on meeting safety standards while ensuring practicality for manufacturing and everyday use.
