Child-resistant packaging for containers like bottles with a cap that prevents unintentional opening by kids. The cap has two deformable regions that, when pressed, release ribs that engage projections on the container. Rotating the cap allows it to slide off. The ribs in slots on the neck deform and move to wider sections as they rotate, allowing full removal. The deformable regions provide grip for intentional opening. The ribs and slots distribute forces to prevent unintentional rotation. The cap has instructions for opening.

Child-resistant lid material for PTP medication packaging that allows adults to easily remove the medication while making it difficult for children. The lid uses a thin, soft aluminum foil instead of a resin film. The soft aluminum foil stretches more than regular foil, making it harder to push out the medication with a small force. The foil thickness is 25-33 microns and the Mullen burst strength is 225-300 kPa. This provides senior-friendly ease of opening while being difficult for children. The soft aluminum foil is preferably 17-45 microns thick and alloy numbers 1N30, 8079, or 8021. The foil extrusion strength is at least 35N to prevent easy removal. The lid can have additional layers like a heat seal, printed layer, and overprint

Aerosol-generating article for preventing accidental ingestion of the article while allowing easy flavor modification. The article has a removable wrapper around the heating rod that contains flavorants including aversive agents like bitter denatonium benzoate. The wrapper is removed before heating to generate the aerosol. This deters ingestion since the bitter taste discourages oral consumption. But the flavors are still present during use. The wrapper can be easily modified by replacing it with a different wrapper containing different flavors. The wrapper is circumferential around the rod and can be removed prior to heating.

Metal bottle for storing non-potable liquids like oral medications that prevents accidental drinking by causing discomfort when touching the mouthpiece. The metal bottle has a resin gasket fixed to the mouthpiece tip. When someone accidentally touches their mouth to the gasket, it creates an unpleasant feeling or unnatural sensation that discourages drinking. This prevents mistaking the bottle for a drink. The gasket can have features like a recessed shape that fits the mouthpiece, protrusions, or slits to enhance the discomfort.

Child-resistant sealing pouch with a unique design to prevent accidental opening by children. The pouch has a seal bar with two closing pieces that buckle together to seal. The upper extension piece of one closing piece is thermally connected to the inside of the pouch, but the other closing piece has an unconnected upper extension. The lower extension of the other closing piece folds up and attaches to the inside. This asymmetry in the closing piece extensions makes it harder for children to tear the seal apart since the forces don't align. It also prevents them from just pulling the top apart since it's connected to the pouch.

Child-resistant zipper closures and resealable pouches that prevent children from opening them easily. The closure has profiles with tight interlocking parts that require force and motion to separate. The closure also has a slider that engages the profiles to open and close them. The slider has a channel to guide the interlocking parts as they separate. When the slider moves to open, it grabs the interlocking part and guides it into the channel to prevent prying. This prevents children from using their fingernails to separate the profiles.

Child-resistant PTP packaging with a unique design to prevent accidental opening by children while still allowing easy access for adults. The packaging has a container sheet with multiple compartments covered by a lidding sheet. The lidding sheet has a peelable cover film with a meandering cut pattern extending along the folded edge of the container sheet. This cut pattern creates weak adhesion areas and non-adhesive areas that lift off when peeling the cover film. This grip helps adults open the packaging while making it harder for children to peel the cover film due to its irregular shape.

A packaging container with a removable cover that provides improved child resistance and tamper evidence. The container has a base, a sidewall extending upwardly from the base, and a cover that is removably connected to the sidewall. The cover has a first portion that extends over the top of the sidewall and a second portion that overlaps the first portion and is adjacent to the top of the sidewall. The second portion has a plurality of child-resistant locking tabs that engage with corresponding locking features on the sidewall to secure the cover in place. The container also includes a child-resistant sealing member that is located between the cover and the sidewall and seals the container when the cover is connected. This provides both child resistance and tamper evidence.
