Select dimensions in cm, mm, inches, ml, or oz and more — whatever fits your product.
Custom child resistant boxes are legally required packaging solutions engineered to prevent accidental child access while maintaining adult usability and regulatory compliance. Designed for pharmaceuticals, cannabis, THC edibles, vapes, supplements, and hazardous products, these boxes combine structural locking mechanisms with precise material engineering to meet U.S. safety standards. Poor packaging decisions risk fines, rejected inventory, and serious liability. Our approach eliminates guesswork by analyzing product risk, legal requirements, and handling conditions before engineering the correct child-resistant structure. Every box is customized for size, material strength, locking function, and branding accuracy—ensuring protection, compliance, and shelf confidence without overengineering or unnecessary cost.

Custom child resistant boxes exist to prevent irreversible outcomes—child exposure, legal penalties, and product recalls. In the U.S. market, packaging for regulated products is not optional design work; it is a compliance system. Federal and state laws require packaging that resists child access while remaining functional for adults. Failure is measured not by aesthetics, but by risk.
Child resistant packaging must slow, confuse, or block unintended access using structural logic rather than force. That logic must align with the product’s risk profile, usage environment, and legal category. A vitamin bottle does not share the same risk as THC edibles. A vape cartridge carries different hazards than button batteries. Correct packaging begins with accurate risk classification.
Child resistant boxes are mandatory or strongly enforced across multiple U.S. industries:
Pharmaceuticals and OTC medicines require PPPA-compliant packaging for pills, capsules, cough syrups, iron supplements, and high-dosage vitamins. These products pose poisoning risks through ingestion volume or chemical interaction.
Cannabis and marijuana products must use child resistant packaging in nearly all legal states. Flower, pre-rolls, concentrates, hash, and wax products are regulated at state and retail levels.
THC and CBD edibles demand the highest protection level. Gummies, chocolates, cookies, and infused candies resemble food products and present maximum child-attraction risk.
Vape, e-cigarette, and nicotine products require child resistance due to liquid toxicity and cartridge ingestion hazards. CPSC enforcement is strict.
Supplements and nutraceuticals require protection due to overdose risk and medical classification.
Household and industrial chemicals require secure packaging to prevent accidental ingestion.
Batteries and hazardous small items, especially button cells, require child-resistant containment due to swallowing emergencies.
Pet medications and veterinary products follow the same safety logic as human medicines.
Each category demands a different resistance strategy. One box type does not fit all.
We do not ask customers to select a box style first. We evaluate the product.
The process begins by studying product dimensions, weight, ingestion risk, usage frequency, and retail handling. This analysis determines the required resistance level, opening logic, and material strength. From there, we engineer the packaging structure that balances safety, usability, and compliance.
This approach prevents two common failures: under-engineering, which risks non-compliance, and over-engineering, which increases cost and frustrates adult users.
Different products require different child-resistant actions. We customize structures based on risk level and user interaction.
A two-step rotational action widely accepted in pharmaceutical packaging. Ideal for medicines and supplements requiring familiarity and repeated access.
A concealed pressure point combined with a sliding tray. Commonly used for cannabis edibles and vape products where discretion and safety matter.
Two simultaneous actions required to open. Highly resistant and effective for high-risk THC products.
Hidden magnetic release points engineered for adult control. Used for premium cannabis brands requiring smooth access without visible locks.
Controlled release tabs combined with snap resistance. Effective for cartridges, batteries, and small hazardous items.
Inner trays locked within outer sleeves. Ideal for edibles and vape pens requiring layered protection.
Hinged lids combined with locking systems. Used for luxury regulated products and gift-style packaging.
Each mechanism is selected for function, not appearance.
Child resistance fails when materials are wrong. Weak paperboard bends. Overly rigid materials crack. Incorrect caliper thickness compromises locking precision.
We recommend material grades based on compression strength, tear resistance, sustainability goals, and cost efficiency. Options include SBS, kraft paperboard, corrugated constructions, and rigid board where required. Coatings and laminations are applied only when they support durability or moisture resistance—not for decoration.
Material accuracy reduces failure rates, improves shelf stability, and maintains compliance across handling environments.
Regulated packaging still represents a brand. Printing must remain precise without interfering with locking mechanisms or safety instructions.
We optimize print placement, color density, and finishing so branding enhances shelf confidence without compromising function. Finishes such as matte or gloss lamination, embossing, or foil stamping are applied only after structural validation.
Compliance warnings, dosage information, and legal markings are integrated cleanly to avoid clutter or obstruction.
Fast production matters when launches, restocks, or regulatory deadlines approach. Our production workflow is structured to deliver custom child resistant boxes quickly while maintaining structural accuracy and print consistency.
Speed is treated as a business enabler, not a shortcut.
Incorrect child resistant packaging leads to rejected shipments, legal exposure, and brand damage. Correct packaging builds trust with regulators, retailers, and consumers.
By engineering the structure around the product—rather than forcing products into templates—we reduce compliance risk, material waste, and decision fatigue.
Our packaging specialists will evaluate your product, risk level, and compliance requirements—then engineer the most accurate child-resistant structure for your needs.
