Keystone’s latest product, the Ecoslide-OTC is a re-closable child-resistant paperboard pack for over-the-counter products that are packaged in blisters. The innovative, eco-friendly solution features a push-button safety mechanism that provides child-resistance while eliminating the need for the more traditional “peel back/push-through” method of removing pills from blister packs.

The EcoSlide-OTC safety mechanism is identical to a newly-enhanced, easier-to-activate version found on the company’s most recent EcoSlide-RX 3.0 package. EcoSlide-RX, which has consistently achieved the highest child resistance rating through multiple tests, and gained widespread consumer acceptance in both clinical and commercial markets. Like its predecessor, EcoSlide OTC’s simple push-button safety mechanism addresses long-standing consumer complaints about the intricate, often cumbersome removal process required by most over-the-counter, “peel and push” child-resistant blister packs.

In developing EcoSlide-OTC, Keystone Folding Box Co. worked closely with major retail chains who are requesting new consumer-friendly approaches to child-resistant packaging for private brand over-the-counter products.
