Do you meet the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s (CPSC) Certified Child Resistant Packaging requirements?
Yes! According to the Consumer Products Safety Commission, child-resistant packages “must be designed or constructed to be significantly difficult for children under five years of age to open within a reasonable time, and not difficult for normal adults to use properly.” Our press-to-close zippers paired with our high-grade digitally printed stand up pouches or lay flat pouches, ensure your products are safely secured, while still standing out on the shelf.
What are the pouch dimensions?
You can choose between custom-sized stand-up and lay-flat pouches or our standard sized pouches.
