NILES, Ill., Oct. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- JohnsByrne, an industry leader in innovative structural packaging design, has released a new child-resistant custom locking solution 3.5 years in the making, EPIK LOKTM. This custom packaging design brings maximum safety to packaging which is crucial in the pharmaceutical and cannabis industries.
In such markets, child-resistant cartons with custom locking features are paramount for meeting safety requirements while incorporating user-focused functionality and branding benefits for companies. Featuring a three-step mechanism requiring a two-finger press release system along with a slide feature, the patent pending system meets child resistant requirements while being easy-to-open for senior citizens.
"As a packaging supplier, we constantly look to the market to help develop innovative packaging solutions. EPIK LOKTM is exactly that. The market needed a packaging solution that was not only child-resistant, but supported branding and marketing initiatives," explained Corey Gustafson, President, JohnsByrne. The innovative design of EPIK LOKTM is a result of a long period of careful study of the market's needs. Thanks to its discreet, yet effective locking mechanism, the design offers companies maximum surface area for decorative elements and embellishments to better build their brand and recognition in the market.
JohnsByrne's EPIK LOKTM is 16CFR Part1700 tested and certified. This is a prevailing state requirement is for cannabis companies. Certified child-resistant cartons comply to federal testing procedure 16CFR Part1700. Performed by a third-party laboratory, the unique closing and opening mechanism used in EPIK LOKTM was tested multiple times to ensure for child-resistance compliance. While many packaging solutions submit for compliance and testing, not all solutions can undergo the rigorous testing needed to achieve this certification.
EPIK LOK TM is available in an array of configurations and adaptable to a variety of designs and products. From edibles to cartridges and other medicinal and therapeutic cannabis products, the solution can be adapted to preserve the quality and integrity of the product while remaining a safe child barrier.
EPIK LOKTM, which is composed of full paperboard as opposed to plastic, has also been a groundbreaking example of sustainable packaging in the industry. This supports the growing initiative by many brands to utilize eco-friendly packaging solutions.
