Abstract
A child resistant package comprising a child-resistant packaging containing there within a solid food item comprising a medicine, wherein the packaging has the shape of a box. The packaging is provided with a perforation and the solid food item is provided with a ‘void’, such as a recess, cut, indentation or hole. The perforation defines a portion of the packaging that is separated at least in part from the remainder of the packaging when the perforation is pierced/punched. The position and shape of the void in the solid food item and the perforation in the packaging correspond, such that, when opening the packaging, the void in the food item facilitates piercing the perforation by enabling the portion of the packaging defined by the perforation to be pushed into the void in the solid food item.

A child resistant package comprising
- an outer packaging,
- wherein the outer packaging is configurable to form a box shaped packaging,
- wherein an interior of the box shaped packaging is configured to accept a solid food item comprising a medicine,
- wherein the outer packaging is provided with at least one perforation,
- wherein the solid food item comprises a void,
- wherein the void comprises at least one of a recess, a cut, an indentation, and a hole in the solid food item,
- wherein a position and shape of the void and the perforation in the outer packaging correspond when the outer packaging is configured as the box shaped packaging, such that, when opening the package, a portion of the outer packaging defined by the perforation is situated within the void,
- wherein opening the outer packaging comprises piercing the perforation,
- wherein the outer packaging comprises two overlapping surfaces, an outer surface and an inner surface, and
- wherein the outer and inner surfaces are provided with corresponding perforations and the inner surface is divided by the perforation in a first, inner, part and a second, outer, part.
A child resistant package comprising
- an outer packaging,
- wherein the outer packaging is configurable to form a box shaped packaging,
- wherein an interior of the box shaped packaging is configured to accept a solid food item comprising a medicine,
- wherein the outer packaging is provided with at least one perforation,
- wherein the solid food item comprises a void,
- wherein the void comprises at least one of a recess, a cut, an indentation, and a hole in the solid food item,
- wherein a position and shape of the void and the perforation in the outer packaging correspond when the outer packaging is configured as the box shaped packaging, such that, when opening the package, a portion of the outer packaging defined by the perforation is situated within the void,
- wherein opening the outer packaging comprises piercing the perforation, wherein the packaging comprises a surface comprising a first layer and a second layer;
- wherein the first layer and the second layer are partially bonded together;
- wherein the first layer and the second layer have perforations corresponding to the void;
