Designed for clinical trials, physicians’ samples and re- tail prescription pharmaceutical products, Key-Pak is one of the most widely used child-resistant medication pack- aging solution on the market. The customizable fold-over package provides child resistance to each dose while earning marks for senior-friendliness. The new Alu-Alu version is particularly suitable for pharma products requiring high barrier protection, as well as delicate or friable oral solid dose products requiring a peel-back opening to prevent physical damage to tablets or capsules. For pharma companies, among the issues making Key- Pak’s new Alu-Alu iteration especially attractive are re- ports of longer-than-usual lead times to obtain some con- ventional blister packaging materials, especially polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and Aclar substrates. Notably, as it is mostly paperboard, Key-Pak comprises up to 75 percent less plastic than bottles or amber vials. Its novel, back-side “zipper” design provides for safe, clean, simple removal of each dose, while its broad, flat surface gives ample room for usage instructions or drug infor- mation. Important for high-volume, efficiency-dependent pharma manufacturing settings, Key-Pak also features a single-component composition that streamlines produc- tion and leads to fewer specifications, inspections, assem- bly, graphics, engineering, and necessary tooling. The new Alu-Alu version of Key-Pak is already being used in several pharma packaging applications, with Key- stone fielding inquiries from pharma companies and con- tract packagers both in the US and overseas.
