Znano je, da so starejši ljudje v številnih državah najhitreje rastoča demografska skupina. Kljub temu je zelo malo podjetij, ki se pri svojih izdelkih dejansko osredotočajo nanje. Pa vendar bi se morala. Demografska skupina starejših se ne bo samo še naprej povečevala zaradi daljše pričakovane življenjske dobe, ampak so starejši pogosto tudi dolgoročne stranke. Starejši pogosto postanejo zveste stranke, ko najdejo izdelek, ki jim je všeč, in ne bodo tako zlahka prešli na drug izdelek.
Starejši imajo pogosto težave pri odpiranju različnih vrst izdelkov, zlasti tistih, ki jih otroci ne morejo zlahka odpreti. Zato je potrebna starejšim prijazna embalaža. Veliko starejših ljudi nima moči ali sposobnosti, da bi odprli običajne embalaže izdelkov, ki so varne za otroke. Te embalaže pogosto vsebujejo zdravila, ki jih mnogi starejši ljudje potrebujejo. In če ga lahko fizično odprejo, pogosto še vedno potrebujejo nekoga, ki jim najprej razloži, kako deluje. Zakaj? Ker zaradi slabšega vida ne morejo prebrati drobnega tiska na embalaži.
Prav v tem je podjetje Locked4Kids najboljše. Embalaža Locked4Kids ni bila preizkušena le z vidika odpornosti proti otrokom, temveč je bil velik del pozornosti namenjen tudi prijaznosti do starejših. Podjetje Locked4Kids je razvilo embalažo, ki za odpiranje ne potrebuje moči ali zahtevnih gibov roke/zapestja.
None of the problems mentioned above are the case for the packaging of Locked4Kids. There are no difficult instructions printed on the senior friendly packaging, because it is simply not difficult to open. Testing has showed a striking balance between accessibility and safety. One of the main findings was that even without instructions, 100% of the seniors managed to easily open the senior friendly packaging. What’s more, not a single child was able to open that same packaging within the first five minutes. The packaging did not even have a pictogram printed on the carton that would explain how it should be opened, because it proved not to be necessary. Seniors were able to open the packaging anyway, with ease. Read more about the various types of carton packaging.
Testing showed incredible results. Not only when tested on children, but on seniors as well. This has resulted inLocked4Kids becoming certified in both the USA and Europe: US16 CFR 1700.20 and ISO 8317. To receive these certifications, the senior friendly packaging had to be tested in different testing facilities that belong to the IBE-BVI in Belgium, who are ISO 17025 certified.
