The Guardian of Spring Festival Gatherings: Why Child Resistant Packaging is Essential for Families

Visiting relatives and friends during the Spring Festival has made high-end health supplements and tonic medicines the top choice for expressing filial piety. Melatonin gummies, vitamin tablets, CBD candy， and even certain functional foods with sedative ingredients often feature colorful and exquisite packaging that easily sparks children’s curiosity. In the eyes of children whose minds are not yet mature, these medicines and health products are indistinguishable from ordinary snacks, easily constituting a tempting “sugar-coated trap.” However, many traditional gift packages often “prioritize appearance over substance”—while they look gorgeous, they lack the necessary Child Resistant Packaging design. In the bustling environment of Spring Festival gatherings, the consequences would be unimaginable if a child were to accidentally open and ingest these products.

In recent years, an increasing number of brands have started advocating for CR packaging for holidays (specialized child-resistant packaging for holidays), deeply integrating safety concepts into holiday gifting. Targeting different product characteristics, various professional safety packaging solutions have emerged in the market:

First are child-resistant tin boxes. High-end health supplement brands tend to use these exquisite tin boxes as outer packaging. They not only offer excellent sealing to effectively prevent moisture and deterioration but, more importantly, are equipped with special locking mechanisms that form a solid physical barrier, making it difficult for children to pry them open with bare hands.

Second are child-resistant paper boxes. This type of packaging is often used for candies or functional foods containing sedative ingredients and mostly adopts a “push-to-open” structure. This design cleverly utilizes mechanical principles to achieve the safety goal of being easy for adults to open, but difficult for children.
