In order to prevent future child poisonings from happening, Boulder Clean launched its new Natural Liquid Laundry Detergent Packs in a child-resistant packaging pouch complete with a zipper. In order to make the zipper more difficult to open than other comparable closures, this stand-up Boulder Clean pouch design boasts a design that requires a tab to be aligned to a notch, then pressed before sliding the [zipper open](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resealable-bottle). As a result, adults will be able to access the laundry product, while kids will struggle with the coordination required for opening. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Child-safe Packaging:** The trend of child-resistant packaging for household products is on the rise in order to prevent accidents and protect children. - **Innovative Closures:** There is a growing demand for creative closures in packaging design to ensure safety and prevent unauthorized access. - **Child-proofing Household Items:** The need for child-proofing everyday household items is leading to the development of child-resistant solutions. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Consumer Goods:** Brands in the consumer goods industry are investing in child-resistant packaging solutions to enhance safety and prevent accidents. - **Packaging:** The packaging industry is experiencing a shift towards innovative closures and child-safe designs driven by consumer demand. - **Childcare Products:** Childcare product manufacturers are exploring child-resistant packaging options to ensure the safety of their products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Single-Handed Pharmaceutical Caps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snapslide.md) - [Child-Resistant Beauty Droppers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/childproof-dropper.md) - [Accessible Self-Sealing Soap Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dawn-ezsqueeze.md) - [Laundry Tab E-Commerce Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multipower-tabs.md) - [Metal Tin Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squeeze-and-turn-tin.md) - [Next-Gen Cannabis Jars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rxdco-cocoon-jars-1.md) - [Paper-Made Detergent Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tesco-laundry-pods.md) - [Sustainable Dishwasher Pods Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ariel-dishwasher-tablets.md) - [Peelable Snack Pouches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/proampac.md)
