Keystone Folding Box Co. Launches Innovative Child-Resistant Wallet Card for Blisters

Keystone Folding Box Co., a leader in paperboard packaging solutions, has unveiled its latest innovation: a new paperboard blister wallet featuring a push-through opening mechanism. Specifically designed for hard tablets, the company’s Push-Pak™ enables easy, intuitive access to dosages while accommodating a denser blister arrangement, which minimizes the overall size of the packaging. This design ensures maximum F=1 child resistance, yet remains user-friendly for seniors and individuals with dexterity issues.

Push-Pak™'s straightforward push-through design not only allows for more medication to be packed into a smaller space, but it also uses less material, making it an eco-friendly choice. The compact design is beneficial for pharmacies, as it simplifies transportation and storage. Additionally, it provides ample space on both the front and back for labeling and instructions.

In terms of safety, the wallet's tear-resistant paperboard structure, combined with a unique perforation and nick pattern, offers outstanding child resistance while being simple for adults to open. The familiar push-through mechanism eliminates the need for complex opening instructions, enhancing user convenience.

Building on the success of its predecessor, Key-Pak®, which is renowned for its child-resistant features, Push-Pak™ is both cost-effective and customizable to meet specific requirements. This versatility makes it an ideal choice for physicians’ samples and prescription medications. Its combination of child resistance and ease of use is particularly appealing to older adults.

Moreover, Push-Pak™ offers significant sustainability benefits. Predominantly composed of paperboard, a renewable material, it requires up to 75% less plastic compared to traditional plastic bottles for packaging the same number of tablets. This minimal use of plastic aligns with eco-friendly practices and reduces environmental impact.

“Our F=1 child-resistant wallet card with its simple push-through feature addresses the needs for ease of access, sustainability, and convenience for all stakeholders,” stated Ward Smith, Director of Marketing & Business Development at Keystone Folding Box Co. “We’re able to provide a compact and portable design that is not only convenient for patients but also appreciated by brand owners and healthcare professionals.”
