Child resistant packaging experts

These standards have both ethical and commercial significance, preventing the possible devastating effects of accidental child drug ingestion and preventing brand damage.

The company has expertise in plastic closure designs and the supply of child-proof caps. The NPD team’s extensive knowledge and passion is infused with a deep resolve to ensure child safety worldwide. Origin works closely with the Child Safe Packaging Group (CSPG), which brings to light the incidents and traumatic experiences of accidental drug ingestion that can change the lives of those involves. Origin is committed to prevent these occurrences by preventing more than 40 million ingestions a year through its effective and compliant child-resistant packaging formations.

Innovation in packaging design

A dedicated global pharmaceutical packaging design organisation, Origin creates compliant, high-quality pharmaceutical packaging with quality assurance (QA) and good manufacturing practice (GMP) standards to meet regulatory supply requirements. Products are also designed to meet pharmaceutical drug manufacturer’s standards, while also increasing their speed-to-market for commercialised drugs.

PILOT is a key element of Origin’s HP3 Hybrid operating system. Designed to ensure Origin captures everything it needs to know about your latest pharmaceutical packaging, PILOT’s innovation is inspiring. It invokes powerful attributes, including passion, emotion, pride, and belief. Origin believes in success and the company refuses to limit its knowledge to a single production process, a particular material, or polymer.

Origin’s innovations include manufacturing advanced material compositions, creating precision 3D printed prototypes, and manufacturing using multi-layer extrusion-moulded processes capable of overcoming migration issues previously unresolved. PILOT provides an essential means of control.

About Origin Pharma Packaging

Origin’s multi-faceted activities in these fields all combine to make Origin unique. Rather than operating from one location and in one narrow field of expertise, Origin operates from dedicated production cells strategically located in the EU and the US. This gives the company almost unlimited flexibility in its production processes, enviable lead times, and in many cases localised stock holding.

Utilising a top-class pharmaceutical packaging team, Origin guides client’s packaging innovations from inception to design, tooling, clinical trials, validation, production, assembly, and marketing, constantly re-addressing best practice for a fully personal experience.

Origin is trusted daily to be innovative, while addressing a client’s needs and protecting what’s important. Working with Origin minimises the risk of failure in child-safe testing, as the company has engaged in child-resistant packaging development for half a century and has gained a wealth of experience in effective designs.
