FEATURE DESCRIPTION
[0016] The figures illustrate a child resistant packaging. The
nature and environmental use of the claimed design is for
containing products.
[0017] Features of the article that are not shown are disclaimed.
Additionally, any features shown in broken lines are for
illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed
design.
[0018] With reference now to FIGS. 1-3, a child-resistant package
100 is described. The package 100 may have a first side 102 and a
second side 104 coupled to the first side 102. A tear strip 108 may
be provided. Instructions 101 for opening may be placed on one or

[0020] As illustrated in FIG. 7, the first side 102 and/or the
second side 104 may include a plurality of layers.
[0021] In some embodiments, a side 102 may have an outer side 102a,
a layer of OPP (oriented polypropylene film) 122, a layer of KRAFT
paper 124, a layer of VMPET (vacuum metallized polyester film) 126,
a layer of PE (polyethylene plastic) 128, and an interior side
102.
[0022] In some embodiments, a side 102 may have an outer side 102a,
a layer of PET 132, a layer of VMPET 134, a layer of PE 136, and an
interior side 102b.
[0023] In some embodiments, a side 102 may have an outer side 102a
and an inner side 102a, a plurality of layers 142, 144, 146, 150,
