Definitions
- the invention relates to a child-resistant packaging, in particular a pharmaceutical packaging, comprising at least one blister card, wherein the blister card comprises two films, of which one film is designed as a carrier film with at least one blister cavity for receiving packaged goods, in particular for receiving a pharmaceutical active ingredient formulation such as a tablet, and forms an upper side of the blister card, and the other film is designed as a push-through cover film, wherein the cover film is at least partially connected to the carrier film while leaving the at least one blister cavity free and at least partially forms an underside of the blister card opposite the upper side, and the cover film closes the at least one blister cavity filled with packaged goods.
- the blister card comprises two films, of which one film is designed as a carrier film with at least one blister cavity for receiving packaged goods, in particular for receiving a pharmaceutical active ingredient formulation such as a tablet, and forms an upper side of the blister card, and the other film is designed as a push-through cover film, wherein the cover film is at least partially connected to the carrier film while leaving the at least one blister cavity free and at least
- the state of the art already includes a wide variety of packaging designs that are considered child-resistant and/or senior-friendly.
- non-resealable packaging for pharmaceutical products in Europe is considered "child-resistant" if at least 85% of a test group of small children aged 42 to 51 months are unable to gain access to more than eight of at least ten dose units presented, such as tablets, capsules or dragees, within ten minutes.
- the packaging is considered senior-friendly if at least 90% of a test group of adults gain access to at least one of the dose units in the one-minute test.
- the DE 20 2004 003 781 U1 a child-resistant rectangular packaging made of two interconnected films, with a flat closure area enclosing at least one receiving space for a filling material.
- the receiving space is opened along a marked weakening line or by removing an edge section of the film.
- the EN 10 2004 062 864 A1 a film container with two interconnected films and with receiving chambers for a filling material, wherein at least one of the films is provided with markings for tearing open the film. The marking is released after the film is bent, whereupon the filling material can be removed from the film container by tearing open the film.
- so-called wallet packaging is already known from the state of the art.
- the documents DE 20 2006 007 553 U1 , DE 44 29 503 C2 as well as EP 2 055 649 A1 Packaging in which blister packs in the form of blister strips or blister cards serve as primary packaging for the packaged goods and these are connected to secondary packaging, for example made of folding cardboard.
- tablets for example, are packaged goods welded in a conventional manner into cavities in a blister strip or blister card inside a folding box or carton.
- the blister cards can be glued, sealed, riveted or attached with labels to the outer secondary packaging, for example, or alternatively can be inserted in compartments in the secondary packaging so that they can be removed.
- the outer secondary packaging usually in the form of folding boxes, is designed in such a way that access to the blister cards inside is difficult.
- the document GB 2 352 231 A shows a wallet packaging in which the entire blister card filled with tablets can be removed from the secondary packaging.
- the blister card is pulled out of the secondary packaging through a slot on the side.
- blister packaging usually refers to visible packaging, i.e. product packaging that allows the customer or buyer to see the packaged goods.
- Blister packs are widely used to package pharmaceutical active ingredient formulations such as tablets. Such packaging is also called push-through packaging and is usually produced in strip or card form.
- a blister card or blister strip usually comprises two films, one of which is a carrier film, usually made of transparent plastic. Individual recesses, known as blister cavities, are formed in the carrier film, into which the packaged goods, usually individual dosage units of tablets, capsules or dragees, are filled and which are sealed with a cover film, for example made of aluminum. For example, deep-drawn plastic trays with an aluminum cover film sealed on the back are used to package the tablets.
- blister packs offer several advantages over glass or plastic bottles. They are more hygienic, and depending on the film materials used, such blister packs can exclude undesirable influences such as high humidity or dirt, and it is also easier to identify the remaining number of dosage units in the pack. Special blister packs also allow the dosage schedule to be shown on the pack. For example, the packaging of many birth control pills is printed with the days of the week. This not only makes it possible to check whether the pills have been taken, but also allows different tablets to be reliably assigned to the days of the menstrual cycle.
- blister packs that are "child-resistant" must also be designed to be suitable for seniors, although the requirements of these two user groups are contradictory to one another.
- Child-resistant packaging to protect small children can, on the other hand, represent an insurmountable obstacle for seniors.
- peelable (peelable) safety films that are "child-resistant”.
- the peelable films must first be peeled off the cover films as a push-through protection before the corresponding dose can be pushed out of the packaging through the cover film.
- older people often find it difficult to grasp and remove such peelable safety films.
- the publication WO2004041675A1 discloses a child-resistant packaging having the features defined in the preamble of claim 1.
- a child-resistant packaging in particular in a pharmaceutical packaging according to the invention, which comprises at least one blister card
- the blister card comprises two films, of which one film is designed as a carrier film with at least one blister cavity for receiving packaged goods, in particular for receiving a pharmaceutical active ingredient formulation such as a tablet, and forms an upper side of the blister card
- the other film is designed as a push-through cover film
- the cover film is at least partially connected to the carrier film, leaving the at least one blister cavity free, and at least partially forms an underside of the blister card opposite the upper side
- the cover film closes at least one blister cavity filled with packaged goods
- at least one base card is movably attached to two opposite side edges or to two opposite edge sections of the blister card and this base card is configured to lie flat against the underside of the blister card at least partially in a securing position and to secure the enclosed packaged goods against unintentional removal and against the cover film being pushed through, where the backing card by an external force by means of counter-current By pressing together two packaging
- the carrier film of the blister card has one or more fold edges and/or perforations as weakening lines so that it can be folded, folded or curved along these defined edges or weakening lines. This ensures that, largely independent of the material selected for the packaging, the transition between the securing position, in which no external force is applied to the spaced-apart packaging sections, and the removal position, which is fixed during an external force, is a reversible back-and-forth movement. Depending on the arrangement, one or more fold edges in the carrier film of the blister card can also ensure that the packaging has sufficient stability or buckling resistance due to the fold edges.
- the packaging is designed in such a way that small children cannot grasp the opposing packaging sections, which have to be pressed together in opposite directions with one hand to transfer the packaging from the securing position to the removal position.
- the two opposing packaging sections that have to be pressed together are advantageously too far apart for a small child to be able to do this with one hand.
- the packaging is designed in such a way that it is only sufficiently rigid in the removal position, which is fixed by opposite-directed compression during the application of external force, so that in this removal position the packaged goods or a tablet can be removed from a blister cavity by pushing through the cover film of the blister card.
- the packaging must be operated with both hands at the same time.
- the packaging must be brought into the removal position by squeezing it together and fixed in this position in order to be able to simultaneously push one or more packaged goods units from the corresponding blister cavities into the interior of the packaging with the other free hand.
- the packaging according to the invention can be adapted particularly flexibly to the applicable safety regulations by a suitable choice of these dimensions, i.e. the distances between the pressure points on the opposite packaging sections of the packaging according to the invention, as well as by a suitable selection of known blister cover films with which the push-through force for pushing through or removing the packaged goods can be varied.
- a suitable choice of these dimensions i.e. the distances between the pressure points on the opposite packaging sections of the packaging according to the invention, as well as by a suitable selection of known blister cover films with which the push-through force for pushing through or removing the packaged goods can be varied.
- blister card chosen here is to be understood as synonymous with the equally common term blister strip as blister packaging for individual packaging units such as tablets.
- the push-through force for pushing through or removing the packaged goods in a range between about 20 N and 120 N.
- These push-through forces were determined in tests with a so-called Pharma Pin with a diameter of 10.5 mm.
- at least two parameters are available for the particularly flexible and individual design of a safety-compliant packaging according to the invention.
- the carrier film and the cover film can be made up of one or more layers.
- the cover film is sealed to the carrier film, for example by gluing, welding or sealing.
- Typical materials for the carrier film include plastics such as polyamide (PA), polyester (UP), polycarbonate (PC), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or corresponding copolymers.
- plastics such as polyamide (PA), polyester (UP), polycarbonate (PC), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or corresponding copolymers.
- PA polyamide
- PC polycarbonate
- PP polypropylene
- PE polyethylene
- PVC polyvinyl chloride
- composite materials such as one or more plastic films with paper or cardboard layers can also be used as carrier films.
- Metal foils such as aluminum foils or aluminum composite films made from aluminum and, for example, a plastic are used as cover films.
- the at least one base card which acts as a child-resistant removal protection in the secured position of the packaging on the underside of the at least one or more blister cards filled with packaged goods, can optionally be made up of one or more layers.
- the base card can expediently be made up of the same material or - in the case of a multi-layered structure - of the same materials from which the at least one blister card is made. It is also possible within the scope of the invention for the base card to be made up of a different material than the materials used to construct the blister cards.
- a single-layer or single-ply reinforcement layer for example made of a transparent plastic with appropriate rigidity, can be used as the base card.
- the base card can also be designed as a multi-layer reinforcement plate within the scope of the invention.
- the base card can also be another blister card, which is arranged opposite to the first blister card and is movably attached to the blister card, and in which the push-through cover films are oriented towards each other towards an inner packaging space.
- the push-through cover films are arranged on the outside of the packaging on its outer surfaces, which protect the packaged goods from the outside.
- backing card is understood to mean, depending on the design of the packaging, a flat reinforcing layer or reinforcing plate of approximately the same size as one or more blister cards, which can be constructed in one or more layers.
- a backing card can, for example, consist of a carrier film, which can also provided for in the blister card, or can optionally be a blister card itself with the corresponding blister cavities for receiving packaged goods.
- the backing card serves as a backing or protective means to protect the cover film of the blister card and is intended to prevent the cover film of the blister card from being pushed through or damaged in the securing position of the packaging.
- the backing card therefore acts like a cover card to cover or protect the opposite cover film on the underside of the blister card assigned to it.
- the backing card forms a separate section of the packaging from the cover film of the opposite blister card assigned to it that is to be protected. In the securing position, the backing card rests against the cover film arranged opposite to protect it, but does not adhere to it.
- the backing card can be moved, shifted, pivoted, folded and/or swiveled into a position spaced apart from the cover film by appropriate compression in the removal position of the packaging - depending on the design of the packaging.
- this does not require the backing card to be peeled off or removed from the cover film.
- the inner packaging space which is enclosed by one or more blister cards and one or more backing cards, offers the advantage that packaged goods such as a tablet, which has been pressed out of the corresponding blister cavity in the fixed removal position by pushing through the cover film, first reach the packaging interior of the packaging and can be removed from the packaging interior through a removal opening.
- the opening for removing the packaged goods can be designed in such a way that, for example, a tablet can be poured from the inside of the packaging directly into the patient's mouth without having to be handled by hand.
- the base card can be reversibly moved from the securing position to a removal position by applying an external force by means of opposing compression of two packaging sections that are opposite and spaced apart from one another.
- the packaging is designed in such a way that at least one base card can be moved by itself or in combination with at least one corresponding blister card or with other base cards by applying an external force by compression using one hand.
- the operator who wants to open the packaging can move it from the securing position to the removal position.
- This movement transition is to be understood as a reversible back and forth movement between the securing position - without external force acting on the packaging sections that are spaced apart from one another - and the removal position - during external force acting on the packaging sections that are spaced apart from one another.
- the two corresponding packaging sections that are opposite one another and spaced apart from one another can, for example, be marked in color and/or have a structural or haptic design such as embossing, ribbing or nubs.
- the packaging must then be grasped again in order to empty the packaging interior. This may be the case, for example, if side flaps on the narrow sides have to be pressed together in order to move the packaging from its securing position to its removal position. However, in order to empty the packaging interior, it may then be provided that the side flaps on one narrow side have to be opened, which may make it necessary to grasp the packaging again. This further, additional handling step can further improve the tamper protection of the packaging against accidental operation by small children.
- these packaging sections are coupled to one another in terms of movement.
- the packaging according to the invention is in no way limited to the storage of packaged goods with pharmaceutical active ingredients, i.e. to drug packaging.
- any unit of packaged goods can be stored in a packaging according to the invention, which, for example, are so small that they are dangerous for small children due to their size and can be swallowed by small children.
- chewing gum or chewing tablets such as nicotine chewing gum, small electronic parts, spare parts, tool inserts, disposable dosing instruments, disposable needles and the like can also be stored securely in packaging according to the invention.
- the assignment of certain terms with regard to a location, a position or an orientation such as “horizontal”, “vertical”, “in the horizontal direction”, “in the vertical direction”, “top”, “bottom”, “inside”, “outside”, “front”, “underneath”, “above” etc. is chosen merely for the sake of simplicity and these details may relate to the representation in the drawings, but not necessarily to a use or storage position of the packaging according to the invention.
- the cover films of the blister cards to be protected are each oriented inwards towards the interior of the packaging, the undersides of the blister cards covered at least in sections with the cover films correspond to the insides of the blister cards in relation to the interior of the packaging.
- the at least one base card comprises a carrier film or is formed from a carrier film.
- the base card serves as mechanical protection for the blister card in order to protect the packaged goods or tablets from being accidentally removed as a result of the cover film being pressed through.
- at least one base card made of a carrier film or comprising such a carrier film can be movably attached to the blister card.
- This base card comprising a carrier film is configured to lie flat against the underside of the blister card in a securing position, at least in sections, and to secure the enclosed packaged goods against being accidentally removed and against the cover film being pressed through.
- the at least one blister card and the at least one base card can each be designed in the form of rectangles, wherein the base card is fastened to two opposite side edges or to two opposite edge sections of the long sides of the blister card.
- the blister cavities for receiving packaged goods units can be arranged in rows or in a matrix according to the size of the rectangular blister card.
- the at least one base card is also expediently designed in a rectangular shape and has essentially the same dimensions as the corresponding blister card for which the base card is intended to protect.
- the two cards are movably attached to one another along their opposite long sides. Depending on the design, the two cards can be attached to one another directly on their long side edges or along edge sections along their long side edges. Removal of the blisters already removed from the The removal of the packaged goods pressed out of the blister cavities from the packaging interior between the blister card and the corresponding base card takes place in the removal position of the packaging on one of its narrow sides.
- the at least one base card in a packaging, can be movably attached to two opposite edge sections of the blister card by means of connecting tabs, preferably with several serially arranged connecting webs.
- the interior of the packaging is laterally limited by the movable connecting tabs or connecting webs.
- These connecting tabs or connecting webs are arranged in such a way that they enable a reversible translational movement or relative movement in the longitudinal direction of the blister card and the corresponding base card between the securing position and the removal position of the packaging.
- At least one labelling tab can be attached to the blister card and/or the base card.
- the at least one label tab on the packaging means that the imprint, such as the product and/or company name of the packaged goods or the drug, is always easy to read.
- the label can also be in Braille, for example, so that blind or visually impaired people can see directly on the packaging which packaged product or drug it is, regardless of the number of dose units or packaged goods units that have already been removed.
- the label tab can be attached to one or both sides of the packaging.
- information on the removal intervals of the packaged dosage units can be printed on one or more label tabs that are directly connected to the blister card and/or the backing card.
- one or more label tabs are equipped with a printable or embossed design in order to be able to design the packaging with individual information on removal intervals.
- the at least one labelling tab is attached to a side edge or to an edge section of the blister card and projects beyond the blister card.
- the one or more protruding label tabs are not only particularly easy to read, but they can also be designed in such a way that these label tabs make it difficult for children to press the packaging together, i.e. to move it from the securing position to the removal position.
- This can be achieved, for example, by roughened and/or jagged sections on the outer edges of the labelling tabs, which are uncomfortable for small children to grasp with their small hands and which consequently prevent compression at these sections of the packaging.
- a packaging according to the invention can be designed to be particularly safe to use if the side of the packaging interior opposite the packaged goods removal opening can be closed with a closure tab.
- the packaged goods or a tablet can only be removed from the packaging interior through a packaged goods removal opening. Inadvertent removal or falling out of the packaged goods from the packaging interior can thus be successfully prevented.
- the at least one packaged goods removal opening of the packaging interior can be equipped with a closure flap that can be closed.
- the closure flap of the packaged goods removal opening must also be opened in order to be able to remove the packaged goods already located in the packaging interior from the packaging, which further increases the security against loss of the packaged goods.
- the at least one base card can be a further blister card with a carrier film, with at least one blister cavity for receiving packaged goods, in particular for receiving a pharmaceutical active ingredient formulation such as a tablet, and with a cover film, wherein the at least one further blister card is arranged such that its carrier film forms an outer surface of the packaging and its cover film is oriented towards the packaging interior.
- This packaging design offers the advantage that at least one further blister card is used as a base card to protect the at least one "first" blister card. At least two blister cards are thus arranged opposite one another and, in the securing position, protect each other's adjacent cover films against the packaged goods being accidentally pressed out of the blister cavities.
- This design is particularly economical because the further blister card in its function as a base card can be made of the same material or materials as the at least one "first" blister card.
- the blister cards connected to one another can, for example, be identical.
- a further advantage is offered by such packaging in which two or more blister cards are provided, since as many dosage units of the packaged goods as possible can be packed in the blister cards in a small packaging space.
- the blister cavities filled with packaged goods of two adjacent blister cards can be arranged congruently one above the other in the securing position.
- the blister cavities of two corresponding blister cards which lie against each other with their cover films in the securing position of the packaging, lie congruently one above the other.
- the blister cavities filled with packaged goods of two adjacent blister cards are arranged offset from one another.
- the packaged goods can also be safely protected against the cover films being accidentally pushed through.
- the packaging can be designed in the shape of a cushion, with the two outer surfaces of the packaging being formed either by a first blister card and a further blister card with goods to be packed filled in blister cavities or alternatively by a blister card and an opposing base card without goods to be packed, which are connected to one another at two opposite side edges of the blister card, with the side edges forming the long sides of the packaging, and oppositely overlapping closure tabs being attached to the opposite narrow sides of the blister cards.
- the oppositely overlapping closure tabs on the narrow sides of the packaging can advantageously serve as first and second packaging sections that are opposite one another and spaced apart from one another and that must be pressed together in opposite directions to fix the cushion-shaped packaging in its removal position.
- the packaging In the securing position, the packaging is essentially flat and the two outer surfaces or outer sides lie against one another with their inner sides.
- the closure tabs on the narrow sides of the packaging are also expediently cut to a correspondingly oval, rounded shape.
- Another elegant packaging variant according to the invention can be designed as a straight prism with an even number of outer surfaces, wherein the outer surfaces are formed by one or more blister cards with packaged goods filled in blister cavities or alternatively by at least one blister card and one or more base cards without packaged goods, which are connected in a row next to one another at their opposite side edges and form the long sides of the packaging.
- blister cards or alternatively base cards without packaging can be arranged in strips as the outer surfaces of a straight prism.
- the blister cards and/or base cards are connected to the adjacent blister cards and/or base cards at their long side edges.
- their long side edges can be designed as folded edges and/or have perforations to weaken the material of the carrier films.
- every second outer surface can be designed as a strip-shaped blister card with blister cavities, with the outer sides provided between two blister cards being designed as base cards without blister cavities.
- a distance between opposing packaging sections in the securing position can be greater than a distance between the same opposing packaging sections in the removal position.
- suitable dimensioning of the packaging dimensions can ensure that the distance between opposing packaging sections in the securing position, which must be compressed to transfer the packaging into the removal position, for example by moving, shifting, folding and/or pivoting, is sufficiently large so that these two packaging sections cannot be grasped by a small child's hand.
- the distance between opposing packaging sections in the securing position is at least 8 cm, preferably at least 10 cm.
- these securing distances in the securing position between the opposing packaging sections which must be pressed together in order to move the packaging into its removal position, appear to be large enough for small children's hands.
- senior citizens should be able to grasp these securing distances with the span of one hand.

- the removal opening 110 in the top carrier film 20 is punched out in a circle and is arranged on a corresponding section of the carrier film 20 of the blister card 10 before the two carrier films 20 and 55 are welded together to form a lateral labeling tab 120.
- the corresponding, opposite section of the carrier film 55 of the base card 50 is not punched or deformed in this embodiment.
- the removal opening 110 is advantageously positioned here such that a section of the punched-out removal opening 110, for example approximately half the cross section of the circular removal opening 110, is arranged in the area of the lateral labeling tab 120.
- the removal opening 110 is opened here in the form of approximately a semicircle adjacent to the labeling tab 120 in the area of the blister card 10. This has the advantage that the removal opening 110 is as small as possible in order to ensure the removal of only a single packaged item 40 or a single tablet 41.
- the edge of that half of the punched-out circular removal opening 110 which is welded to the carrier film 55 of the base card 50 in the area of the labeling tab 120 acts as a boundary edge for the removed packaged item 40.
- the removal opening 110 punched into the carrier film 20 can also deviate from a circular shape and be shaped, for example, in the form of a rectangle, a square, an ellipse or a polygonal curve.
- the portion of the removal opening 110 which, in the welded position of the finished packaging 1, comes to lie in the area of the labeling tab 120 and is therefore not available as a free cross-section for the actual removal of the packaged goods can vary.
- the removal opening 110 can be arranged entirely on that section of the carrier film 20 of the blister card 10 which does not form the labeling tab 120, but is actually available as a free removal cross-section with the packaging interior 100.
- FIG. 20 shows a detailed view from the front of a further embodiment of a packaging 1 according to the invention in cushion form, the packaging 1 being shown here in its removal position 80 and a removal opening 110 for the packaged goods 40 being punched into the top of the carrier film 20 of the blister card 10 shown above.
- both the labeling tab 120 protruding to the right in the picture and the closure tabs 60 on the opposite narrow sides 4 of the packaging 1 are provided with labels.

- the removal opening 110 is positioned in such a way that a section of the punched-out removal opening 110, for example half of the circular removal opening 110, is arranged in the area of the lateral labeling tab 120.
- the removal opening 110 obtained by punching through both carrier films 20, 55 thus offers the advantage that the free longitudinal edge of the labeling tab 120 is also continuous in the area of the removal opening. This ensures that in the removal position 80 only a single packaged item 40 or a single tablet 41 can be removed from the packaging 1 through the removal opening 110.
- the continuous free longitudinal edge of the label tab 120 acts like a bracket for the packaged goods 40 or the tablet 41 that is currently located within the removal opening 110. Depending on the selected position and the portion of the removal opening 110 that is positioned in the area of the label tab 120, an unwanted falling out of the packaged goods 40 from the removal opening 110 can thus be prevented.
- the continuous free longitudinal edge of the label tab 120 is designed here, for example, to be jagged or have a rough structure, which is perceived as unpleasant by children, especially when they grasp it.
- Fig. 23 illustrates in a side view a further embodiment of a packaging 1 according to the invention in cushion form, wherein on the labeling tab 120 a fold-out information leaflet 121 is attached.

- the two outer wings or sections of the labeling tab 120 can be removed after tearing open the perforations 23 along the long side edge 16 by further tearing along weakening lines 23, which run, for example, obliquely in the direction of the free long edge of the labeling tab 120.
- the label tab 120 has a hanging opening 126 approximately in its longitudinal center, which serves for hanging the packaging 1, for example, on a sales stand.
- Fig. 25 shows a detailed view of a further embodiment of a packaging 1 according to the invention in cushion form, wherein the packaging 1 is shown in its removal position 80 and a removal opening 110 for the packaged goods is punched into the upper carrier film 20 on the top of the packaging.
- the removal opening 110 is advantageously arranged transversely to the longitudinal direction of the packaging and has, for example, an approximately rectangular contour.
- the removal opening 110 is only punched out of the carrier film 20 along three sides, maintaining an edge distance.
- the fourth side preferably a long side of the rectangular contour, is not punched out. or punched through, but is merely processed to form a weakening line 23 or a perforation line 23 of the carrier film 20.
- the contour along this fourth side can also be provided with a folding edge 22.
- a movable, foldable closure tab 60 thus remains within the removal opening 110, which remains connected along one side of the removal opening 110 to the adjacent carrier film 20 to form a folding edge 22 and/or a perforation line 23. This foldable closure tab 60 ensures that the removal opening 110 is closed when the packaging 1 is in its securing position 70.
- the removal opening 110 punched into the upper carrier film 20 opens and the foldable closure flap 60 folds inwards along the weakening line 23 or perforation 23 and/or the fold edge 22 into the packaging interior 100 and thus automatically releases the removal opening 110.
