Burgopak has reached the US Consumer Product and Safety Commission's F=1 standard for child-resistant effectiveness in packaging, as well as the senior friendly standard.
The company's Burgopak single and double blister packs incorporate its patented sliding mechanism, keeping the patient information booklet, blisters and outer carton connected at all times.
The latest addition to the company's pharma series achieved child-resistant effectiveness at a pass rate of 98%, and senior adult use effectiveness at 95%.
The company says its partnership with RxPak, a subsidiary of McKesson Corporation, will bring its pioneering pharmaceutical packaging style to market in 2010.
Production is fully automated on Bosch Sigpack machinery.
Burgopak currently offers single-blister, double-blister and senior-friendly designs that can be customised to accommodate nearly any pill, blister or leaflet size.
