Origin Pharma Packaging

Origin is proud to introduce ClicCan®: the next-generation child-resistant packaging solution for nicotine pouches. Designed to meet rigorous international safety standards, ClicCan® protects against accidental exposure while seamlessly integrating into your existing production lines.

Read on to discover what makes ClicCan® the top choice for brands looking to stay ahead of safety regulations and offer peace of mind to their valued customers.

What Is ClicCan®?

ClicCan® is a next-generation child-resistant (CR) can designed specifically for storing nicotine pouches. It keeps its contents safely protected from children while still being easy for your customers to use.

Certified to meet stringent safety standards, including BS EN ISO 8317 and 16 CFR-1700.20, ClicCan® fully complies with international child-safety regulations. It also integrates smoothly with existing filling and packing lines, allowing for a seamless transition without disrupting existing production processes.

How Does ClicCan® Work?

ClicCan®’s design is based on the well-known ‘line up the arrows’ child-resistant packaging mechanism, but incorporates multiple forms of sensory feedback for unparalleled accessibility and safety. The can signals to the user through a combination of sight, sound, and touch:

• See It: The can has to be correctly visually aligned to open and close. Three ridges on the lid and two on the body have to be lined up, preventing accidental access by children.
• Hear It: As the lid is turned, a click sound is produced. The clicking stops when the correct alignment is achieved, giving an audible signal to the user that the lid can be removed.
• Feel It: A knurled texture on the can produces a vibration as the lid is turned. Users will also feel a resistance when the lid has been turned fully.

This sensory-driven design is intuitive for adults to understand but still meets child resistance certifications, making it a clear choice for safety-conscious brands worldwide.

Why Choose ClicCan®?

Depending on its strength, just one nicotine pouch could dangerously poison a child, and as little as 10 mg of nicotine could be fatal if swallowed. So, it’s vital to invest in packaging that keeps your pouches safely out of children’s reach.

But why should you choose ClicCan® for your brand?

Product Features

ClicCan® has all of the great features you would expect to see in a high-quality nicotine pouch can, but with the added bonus of being certified child-resistant. Some of its most notable features include:

• Large 25-pouch capacity
• Made from fully recyclable materials
• Suitable for both hydrated and non-hydrated sachets
• Enhanced shelf life
• Increased inclusion and accessibility thanks to Origin’s unique opening technology
• Large areas available for product branding
• Optional built-in child-resistant waste compartment

ClicCan®’s most distinctive feature, though, is its compliance with CR standards.

Compliance and Safety Standards

ClicCan® complies with the internationally recognised child-safety standards BS EN ISO 8317 and 16 CFR 1700.20, providing peace of mind for both your brand and your customers.

ISO 8317 is an international standard that specifies rigorous requirements and testing methods to ensure that packaging withstands attempts by children to open it while remaining accessible to adults.

For a product to be certified as child-resistant under ISO 8317 regulations, at least 85% of children under 52 months must be unable to open the packaging within a set time, and 80% must fail to open it even after a demonstration. At the same time, it must be openable and reclosable by 90% of adults within one minute. 16 CFR 1700 is a similar standard that applies in the US, set by the Code of Federal Regulations. ClicCan® surpasses these standards by a large margin.

By choosing ClicCan®, brand owners demonstrate a commitment to user safety, and future-proof their business against potential future regulation. And if you have pouch customers in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Romania or Slovakia, you’ll need ClicCan now.

Easy Production Line Integration

Even with its revolutionary compliant design, ClicCan® seamlessly integrates into existing filling and packing lines, helping brand owners adopt child-resistant packaging without disrupting their production processes.

• Size: ClicCan® is available in the same size as existing, non-CR pouch cans: 22mm or 24mm in height depending on the machinery you use. This also means that it matches the size of your existing retail displays.
• Branding: Large areas of the can are available for product branding, including the waste compartment. Even the ridges have been placed to avoid labelling, so there is no need to change your existing labels.
• Hydrated or non-hydrated: ClicCan® works with both hydrated and non-hydrated pouches, so brand owners can make the switch to compliant CR packaging no matter what they produce.
