Drugs are not meant to fall into children’s hands. But just in case this ever does happen, it is crucial to prevent children from being able to open the containers by securing them with child-resistant caps. That is why more and more customers are choosing child-proof packaging options from Gerresheimer. Gerresheimer will be showcasing a wide range of child-resistant caps alongside various other packaging solutions for solid and liquid drugs at the CPhI trade fair in New Delhi, India at booth 14.B06 from 24-26 November 2021.
Gerresheimer Triveni started CR closure manufacturing in India over 5 years ago, then and thanks to increasingly fast-growing demand, created a locally manufactured closure range for CR 38, CR 33 as well as CR 28 and which all are today in commercial production. This offering will in the coming months extended even further, with CR 53 production in Triveni India.

Gerresheimer’s trade fair booth will focus on injection vials, also known as Gx vials.
