Manufactured from tear-resistant paperboard, MPS’s new child resistant packs feature locking options, which help prevent children from accessing the pack’s contents.

Providing easy-access options for senior consumers, the packs can be kept together as one-piece when opened and will automatically re-lock when closed.

“These packs can incorporate compliance features within the artwork and are compatible with many different products, including blisters, tubes and vials.”
