Düsseldorf/Paris, January 31, 2018. Gerresheimer is to present its Duma Standard CR (child-resistant) container with Handy Cap CR at Pharmapack (booth A24) from February 7 up to 8 in Paris. This is the company’s first snap-on cap with child-resistant (CR) solution. The snap-on cap is a one-component-system compared to more conventional child-resistant screw-cap solutions that are made of two components.
“I’m a father myself and I know how curious children are,” says Niels Düring, Global Executive Vice President Plastic Packaging. “You have to be very careful because they’ll play with anything they can get their little hands on. So it’s vital for drugs to be supplied in childproof packaging.”
Only the 40 ml version of the new Duma Standard CR container is currently available with the Handy Cap CR. Other sizes can be supplied upon request.
Children experiment with everything and that includes medicines – mummy’s tablets could well be some sort of tasty treat, after all. This means tablets should be stored out of the reach of children. This is much easier said than done, however. It is all too easy to leave a box of tablets behind on the kitchen table where your child can play with it.
