What Is Child-Resistant Vape Cartridge Packaging?
Child-resistant packaging, often called child proof packaging, uses a locking mechanism that is difficult for young children to open but straightforward for adults. For cartridges, the most common design is a press-and-slide box: you press release points on the sleeve while sliding the tray out.
In the UK, e-cigarettes and refill containers containing nicotine must be child-resistant and tamper-evident. Choosing packaging designed for this from the start saves redesigns later and gives retailers confidence in your product.
- Press-and-slide locking tray
- Tamper-evident seals or tear strips
- Clear opening instructions printed on the pack
- Front and back panels planned for the health warning
Child-Resistant Box Styles
Every style is made to your product's exact size and printed with your artwork.
Press & slide box
Press two release points to slide the tray out. Our most popular style.
Squeeze & pull pack
A slim pack that opens with a firm side squeeze.
Multi-pack locking carton
Holds several cartridges, each in its own cavity.
Tamper-evident sleeve
Adds a seal that shows clearly if the pack has been opened.
Testing and Compliance
Child-resistant packaging is normally tested against a recognised standard such as ISO 8317, using panels of children and adults to confirm it is hard for children and easy for adults to open. Results depend on the final structure, materials and how the pack is assembled.
Before you place a production order, ask us which of our structures have test documentation and whether your exact size needs its own test. Nicotine products also need the UK health warning on the front and back, covering 30% of each surface, which we build into the layout.
We do not claim certification for a design until it has been tested. Ask us for current test documentation for your chosen style.

Child-Resistant Vape Cartridge Packaging: Frequently Asked Questions
Is child-resistant packaging required for vape cartridges in the UK?
Yes, for nicotine products. UK rules require e-cigarettes and refill containers containing nicotine to be child-resistant and tamper-evident.
What is the difference between child proof and child-resistant?
They mean the same thing in everyday use. "Child-resistant" is the correct technical term, because no pack is completely child proof.
Are your boxes certified?
Certification depends on testing the final structure. Ask us for current test documentation for the style and size you need.
How do adults open a press-and-slide box?
Press the marked release points on the sleeve and slide the tray out. We print simple instructions on the pack.
Can I add a tamper-evident seal?
Yes. Seals and tear strips show clearly if the pack has been opened.
What is the minimum order?
From 50 units per design.
