Fortunately, with custom packaging bags you can add features that make it difficult for young people to gain access to unsuitable products. You can accomplish this important goal without sacrificing the premium look of your packaging. 

Made of Mylar

Developed in the 1950s, mylar materials quickly become popular in the world of packaging. Since that time, steady advances have only improved this material and made it more eco-friendly, versatile and durable. Mylar also protects food products and supplements from the outisde environment, keeping them fresh and retaining quality. This material also keeps odors and mositure from entering and leaving the container, and it has advantages when it comes to child safety.

It is one thing to claim child safety in packaging, and it is another to have a certification that carries weight in the packaging industry. As a responsible company, make sure to look for child safety credentials that include third party testing and verification as well as adherence to federal guidelines. Child safety features for custom food packaging bags include these measures:

• The presence of child resistant films
• The addition of child resistant zippers
• The adherence to provisions in the US Poison Prevention Packaging Act
• The meeting of federal testing requirements

It is important that your company and your customers have confidence in the safety of packaging, especially when your product contains potentially harmful substances. You can achieve this with lay-flat and stand-up pouches that utilize child safety principles. Adults will still be able to have trouble-free access to the product, but the packaging features of the bag will reduce the chances of a child gaining access.

Child-Resistant for Protection

The purpose of child resistent packaging is two-fold: to reduce dangers to children, and to provide real peace of mind to customers. Some products such as medicinals, health and beauty products, lawn and garden items and supplements do not belong in the hands of children. Child resistant packaging adds a layer of protection for all parties and also could protect your company from a lawsuit. 

Other advantages of flexible packaging for food include a premium appearance that helps your product stand out in the store and on online platforms. The ability to create beautiful packaging comes from the versatility of durable materials and the capabilities of digital printing techniques. Vibrant colors on packaging has eye appeal which is very important for attracting new customers.
