Pharmaceutical packaging must evolve to minimize plastic consumption, cater to Americans with physical limitations, and uphold stringent child safety regulations, and SnapSlide is a first-of-its-kind packaging solution that ticks all three boxes. This child-resistant closure for Rx amber vials is an adaptive packaging solution that boasts a patented, sliding, two-step opening procedure for single-handed opening and closing.
The user-friendly cap requires less force and dexterity to open and close than the widely adopted push-and-turn technology, and its overall design is 27% lighter than the average conventional child-resistant cap and decreases overall plastic usage.
SnapSlide is suitable for oral solid dose over-the-counter applications, and its design is adaptable for other types of plastic and glass bottles that must be child-proof.
