Child-Resistant Closures (CRCs) are a vital safety feature mandated by the CPSC under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA) for dozens of hazardous products, including prescription medication, household cleaners, and cannabis products. These closures require a minimum of two motions to open, like the common "push down and turn" mechanism, making them difficult for children under five to access quickly, while remaining easy for adults.

Injection molding is a highly efficient manufacturing process used across nearly every industry. The process works by injecting resin (like HDPE, PP, or PET) into a clamped mold, where it cools under pressure before being ejected. The six precise steps of the process are clamping, injection, dwelling, cooling, mold opening, and ejection. While initial lead times can be long, the advantages of injection molding are its high efficiency and unmatched repeatability for creating identical, high-precision components at scale.
