Zip-Pak is a provider of resealable zipper solutions for flexible packaging.

Traditionally, products requiring child-resistance have been offered in rigid pack formats. Recently, however, brand owners have expanded their use of flexible packing.

Zip-Pak’s new product line is the Safety-Lok Child-Resistant Solutions, designed to keep children safe with a child-resistant solution. 

Safety-Lok CR zippers are certifiable and come in two different formats: Press-to-Close and Slider.

The key differentiator of the Press-to-Close is the tab mechanism used to open and access the package contents. The tabbed profile provides resistance for younger children, yet easy access for older consumers challenged by child-resistant packaging.

The Slider offers a simple, intuitive one-step opening mechanism allowing the package to be opened from any position with a light squeeze. Safety-Lok creates a wide-mouth opening for easy access to the package while still keeping the product inside safe from children.

Zip-Pak also has Child-Deterrent zippers solutions. Child-Deterrent Tab zippers are suitable for a broad range of products, including: laundry and detergent pods; household chemicals; nutraceuticals & pharmaceuticals; and many others.

Both the Safety-Lok Child-Resistant Press-to-Close and Child-Deterrent Tab offer a cost-effective solution that incorporates seamlessly into existing flexible packaging machinery with minor modifications and are applicable to a variety of package formats.
