"Child-resistant" on a pouch is not a vibe — it is a specific closure, tested as a finished pack, in the market where you sell. Here is exactly what we build, what you still have to test, and how to order.
On flexible packaging, child resistance comes from the closure: a CR zipper that takes a two-step motion (press and slide, or squeeze and pull) that young children struggle to complete but adults can still open. The pouch itself stays resealable, so it keeps working for the whole life of the pack, not just the first opening.
One thing matters more than anything else on this page: child resistance is tested on the finished pack, in the market where you sell. In the United States that means the CPSC 16 CFR 1700.20 protocol, run by a lab on samples of your actual pouch with your actual film thickness and zipper. We do not hand you a certificate and call it done — see what we can and cannot do below.
Child-resistant zippers are available on every size from 3.5 g up to 1 lb, on stand-up, flat and custom die-cut pouches. The pouch stays resealable after opening.
Sizes: 1 g (7 × 9 cm), 3.5 g (9 × 13 + 6 cm), 7 g, 14 g, 28 g / 1 oz and 1 lb — any other dimension is made to order. For flower, gummies or any other fill, the right size is decided by a fill test, not by the label weight.
We keep this blunt, because it protects your listing and your customers:
Ask us for sample pouches early — labs test the pack you will actually ship, so the sample film, zipper and print must match the bulk spec.

Custom printed pouches start at 500 pieces per design; ready-made stock bags start at 200 pieces. As a reference, a 3.5 g matte stand-up pouch with a standard zipper is US$0.60 per bag at 500 pieces, US$0.33 at 1,000 and US$0.16 at 3,000 — a CR zipper is quoted on top, confirmed in your quote. Production takes about 3 to 10 days after you approve the artwork, and every order is sampled before the bulk run.

The questions buyers ask most about this.
No. Child resistance is tested and certified on the finished pack in the market where you sell — in the US under CPSC 16 CFR 1700.20. We build the pouch to spec and supply samples for your own lab testing; the report and sign-off belong to the brand.
