Various types of Child resistant packaging available:

Child resistant Blister Packs - Blister packaging can also be easily made to be child resistant. In case of child-resistant blister packaging, manufacturers make use of a multi-layer backing. Along with aluminum, manufacturers also use PVC, PVdC, PE, PP, Aclar films and Coldform foils. This makes the packaging harder to open for children. However, adults can still open such packaging by peeling the back of the packaging, by pushing the tablet or the capsule through the backing or by both peelings and pushing through.

Child resistant sprays - Making child resistant and senior friendly sprays are quite easy with the help of CR closures. Most nasal sprays come with an additional cover that conceals the spray head. Manufacturers use child-resistant caps to cover the spray head. The cover can have a common squeeze and turn mechanism.

Caps & Closures - Most of these caps come with a locking mechanism besides the standard turn to open or close mechanism. The three popular mechanisms are Turn and lift, Push and turn and squeeze and turn. These caps come with a mechanism where the threads of the cap and the jar do not align unless the users disengage the locking mechanism. They can do this by the application of additional force, such as pressing the cap from the top or squeezing it from the sides. Depending on the design, the user has to apply some additional force to unlock the cap.

Child resistant sliders - It is a resealable pouch with a slider. The slider comes with a PTE or Press-To-Engage mechanism. The slider tab will align with the ridges once the user presses down on it. This is quite challenging to use for five-year-olds, but most adults, including ones with a disability, can use it with ease.

Re-closable carton - Re-closable cartons are a low cost and eco-friendly way for packing pharmaceutical products. The reclosable cartons are often used for packing blister packs containing a unit dose of medicine.
