Duallok child resistant packaging wins global packaging award

Packaging Solutions

The PAC Global Leadership awards have recognised Duallok as a trailblazer in packaging innovation with its patented child resistant packaging solution for the Theory Wellness range, in partnership with brand agency Hippo Premium Packaging.

Reviewed by 66 judges including representatives from Coca-Cola, Tetrapak, Westrock, Nestle, and Pearlfisher, experts joined forces from around the world to determine the best in packaging across the industry.

A leader in experiential packaging design, the Duallok was first developed by the structural engineers at Burgopak in central London, before launching as a limited company in late 2018 with the winning patented Duallok CR3 packaging solution.

Rosie Reardon, managing director at Duallok, commented: ‘We are thrilled to see such early success of the Duallok. This award is the result of two years of research and development and eight months of child resistant testing to create the highest standards in child safety in a premium packaging solution.’

The double locking mechanism behind the Duallok was designed with kid's safety at its core. Certified under 16 CFR 1700 guidelines for child resistance, the package provides a premium and compliant solution with instructions built-in in such a way that they provide sufficient guidance for adult opening, without detracting from the wider branding.

Working closely with Hippo premium packaging to develop an insert to house the Theory Wellness vape cartridge series, it was possible to produce a robust and reliable fitment that added to the brands continuity by enabling the external art work to flow into the internal structure.
