A child-resistant yet senior-friendly packaging for tablets, capsules or similar pharmaceutical products. The packaging is a blister pack () with at least one cup () that receives tablets () in an external package, arranged between a base part () and a cover part (), and that is closed by a cover film () that can be pressed through. The cover film () of the blister pack () is directed towards the base part () and the base part () comprises an opening () through which the product can be withdrawn. The cup () of the blister pack () is displaceably guided in a slot () in the cover part () and can be brought in alignment with the opening () in the base part () so that the cover film () can be pressed through and the tablet () can be withdrawn. A tear tab () is detachably linked with the cover part () via a perforated line () and covers the slot () at least partially.

Child-resistant packaging for tablets

A child-safe packing for tablets, capsules and similar pharmaceutical products having a blister pack with at least one cup to hold the tablets sealed by a push-through cover film (). A first cove part () is arranged over the blister pack fitted with an outer pack. The first cover part is overlaid by a second cover part. A sealing part lies between the first cover part an the second cover part. The cover film of the blister pack faces towards the first cover part. The sealing part has a removal opening opposite of the cup of the blister pack that is sealed by the second cover part when the outer pack is closed and is optionally covered by a push-through opening seal. The two cover parts are connected together at one end and at the other end each is connected to one end of the blister pack or sealing part. The blister pack is connected to the sealing part at their other ends to form grip tabs. The grip tabs of the two cover parts lie within a loop formed by the blister pack and the sealing part. With the outer pack closed, between the first cover part an the blister pack and between the second cover part and the sealing part there is a releasable connection which is separated upon opening the outer pack after pulling on the grip tabs. In this open position of the outer pack the cover film over the cup of the blister pack lies opposite of the removal opening.

A child-safe packing for tablets, capsules or similar pharmaceutical products having a blister pack with at least one cup to hold the tablets sealed by a push-through cover film. The blister pack is arranged in an outer pack between a base part and a cover part. The cover part is covered by a sealing part. The sealing part is overlaid by a tear-off part. The cover film of the blister pack faces towards the cover part. With the outer pack closed, a first adhesive is arranged between the base part or blister pack and the cover part. A second adhesive is arranged between the base part and sealing part. The second adhesive has a higher adhesive force than the first adhesive. With the outer pack closed, the sealing part is folded about a first fold line. Upon opening the outer pack is folded about a second fold line. After folding the sealing part about the second fold line, the second adhesive is arranged between the sealing part and the cover part.

A child-safe packing for tablets, capsules and similar pharmaceutical products, with a blister pack () with at least one cup () to hold the tablets () sealed by a push-through cover film (). Over the blister pack () fitted with an outer pack () is arranged an intermediate part (). The cover film () of the blister pack () faces towards the intermediate part (). Between the blister pack () and intermediate part () is arranged a first adhesive (). The intermediate part () is partly covered by a removable separating part (). A cover part () lies on the separating part (). Between the intermediate part () and the separating part () is arranged a second adhesive (). Between the intermediate part () not covered by the separating part () and the separating part () and cover part () is arranged a third adhesive (). The third adhesive () has a lower adhesive force than the first adhesive () and the second adhesive () has a higher adhesive force than the first adhesive ().

A child-resistant yet senior-friendly packaging for tablets, capsules or similar pharmaceutical products. The packaging is a blister pack ( ) with at least one cup ( ) that receives tablets in an external package ( ), arranged between a base part ( ) and an intermediate part ( ), and that is closed by a cover film ( ) that can be pressed through. The intermediate part ( ) is covered by a cover part ( ). A first adhesive ( ) is arranged between the base part ( ) or the blister pack ( ) and the intermediate part ( ). A second adhesive ( ) is arranged between the intermediate part ( ) and the cover part ( ). The second adhesive ( ), in the closed state of the external package ( ), has a lower adhesiveness vis-&agrave;-vis the first adhesive ( ) and, once the cover part ( ) is released from the intermediate part ( ), a higher adhesiveness vis-&agrave;-vis the first adhesive ( ).

A blister package ( ) with a bottom part ( ) with at least one depression ( ) and a cover film ( ) that is fastened to the bottom part ( ), covers the depressions ( ) and can be forced through, the depressions ( ) containing a product to be withdrawn. A cover layer ( ) covers the cover film ( ) and contains sections that can be forced through and others that cannot be forced through. The depression ( ), in the rest position of the blister package ( ), is located at least partially or completely above a section of the cover layer ( ) that cannot be forced through. In order to expose the product to be withdrawn, the depression is displaced across a section ( ) in the cover layer ( ) that can be forced through by way of a lateral movement with respect to the cover layer ( ). The product to be withdrawn can then be forced through the cover film ( ) and the cover layer ( ).

Blister package

A child-resistant yet senior-friendly packaging for tablets, capsules or similar pharmaceutical products. The packaging is a blister pack ( ) with at least one cup ( ) that receives tablets ( ) in an external package ( ), arranged between a base part ( ) and a cover part ( ), and that is closed by a cover film ( ) that can be pressed through. An intermediate part ( ) is covered by a cover part ( ). A first adhesive ( ) is arranged between the base part ( ) or the blister pack ( ) and the base part ( ). The intermeiae part ( ) includes a first opening tongue ( ) that is preferably linked with the intermediate part ( ) via a first perforated line ( ) so that it can be detached, and, within said first opening tongue ( ), a second opening tongue ( ) that is preferably linked with the first opening tongue ( ) via a second perforated line ( ) so that it can be detached. The second opening tongue ( ) can be detached from the first opening tongue ( ) once the first opening tongue ( ) is removed from the intermediate part ( ) and exposes the cover film ( ).
