Is Locked4Kids suitable for mass production?

Tablets, pills, capsules; Locked4Kids offers versatile packaging solutions which can be packed cost effectively in a carton/blister combination. Whether you need large volumes or small quantities, Locked4Kids offers a solution for both.

Locked4Kids child resistant cartons have been developed for high speed automated production on standard pharmaceutical packaging equipment. Blister strips are loaded top down into a tray, which is then inserted into the child resistant carton. With Locked4Kids cartons, you can achieve the same packaging process speeds as with regular (non CR) cartons.

What fits in a Locked4Kids pack?

The tray of the carton holds a single strip or multiple strips. The Wallet Box holds up to three blister strips and fits about 95% of the blister packs on the market. Locked4Kids offers child resistant carton packaging for pharmaceuticals and non-pharmaceutical products. The possibilities of the platform include dispensing laundry and dishwasher pods. The laundry and dishwasher carton won a silver NJPEC award in 2016, in the category Household and Industrial.

How does Locked4Kids combine the European and US approaches?

In Europe approximately 80% of all tablet and capsules are packed in blister strips and retail cartons. In the US, bottles still account for most medicine packaging. Both solutions face big disadvantages regarding child resistancy.

The European approach of packing medicines in child resistant cartons requires specialized and costly packaging systems. On the other hand, packing medicines in inexpensive bottles, the standard in the US, does not offer protection against moisture and contamination. Furthermore, neither production batch numbers, nor expiry dates can be communicated as desired.

Today, after years of development, Locked4Kids combines these approaches in one versatile packaging concept. The solution supports child resistance, protects product integrity and allows clear communication of product information.

How does Locked4Kids run on your line?

The carton runs on standard cartoning equipment at the speed of regular cartons. The Wallet Box also runs on standard cartoning equipment. This keeps child resistant packaging cost-effective.

During implementation, Ecobliss offers on-site assistance and advice. If you prefer, Ecobliss packs Locked4Kids for you in a GMP packaging room in Echt. Locked4Kids packaging is stored and shipped from Echt.

Why pack medicines in child resistant blister cartons?

Fact is that blisters guarantee the integrity of tablets and capsules much better than a bottle. Blisters protect the individual dose against moisture and contamination. Besides this, production batch numbers and expiry dates can be stamped or printed on each individual blister. Unlike bottles, blisters also make it immediately visible if medicines have been tampered with. However, the costs of child resistant blister packagings were high. That has now changed. With its versatile packaging solutions, Locked4Kids offers cost-effective child resistant cartons to pack blisters.
