# Child-Resistant Prenatal Vitamins vitaPearl Multivitamins are Securely Stored in Locking Packages By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-07-07 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prenatal-vitamin References: [packagingdigest](http://www.packagingdigest.com/packaging-design/locking-blister-pack-for-prenatal-vitamins-is-tough-for-kids-to-open-but-easy-on-expectant-moms-2016-07-05) & [vitamedmdrx](https://www.vitamedmdrx.com/prenatal-vitamins/vitapearl) Child-resistant packaging is a well-known innovation that has come to be associated with pharmacy pill containers and their tough-to-open plastic caps—but vitaPearl [prenatal vitamins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perelel-health) come in a new form. Rather than being packaged by the bottle, these 30-day multivitamins come in a [foil blister pack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/log-pharma) that slides into a locking package. To release the blister pack, it's as easy as squeezing and holding the sides of the main sleeve. Since these products contain [iron](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-a-day-kids-multi-with-iron), they are required to be packaged in a design that has a child resistance rating of F=1. This innovative design meets these requirements for child safety, while also being easier for expectant mothers to use as compared to paper-backed blister packs. TherapeuticsMD is the parent company of vitaMedMD and also uses this packaging design for its BocaGreenMD brand's Prena1 Pearl prenatal multivitamin. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Child-resistant Packaging:** The use of child-resistant packaging is expanding beyond traditional pill containers, creating opportunities for innovative packaging solutions in various industries. - **Alternative Packaging Designs:** Innovations in packaging, such as foil blister packs and locking packages, offer new ways to improve safety and convenience in product delivery. - **Enhanced User Experience:** Designing packaging that prioritizes user experience, such as easy-opening mechanisms, can provide a competitive advantage and foster customer loyalty. ### Who This Affects Most - **Pharmaceutical:** The pharmaceutical industry can explore child-resistant packaging options and alternative packaging designs to ensure the safety and convenience of their products. - **Consumer Goods:** The consumer goods industry, particularly for products such as vitamins and supplements, can adopt child-resistant packaging and innovative packaging designs to meet safety regulations and enhance user experience. - **Packaging and Printing:** The packaging and printing industry has the opportunity to develop and produce child-resistant packaging solutions and alternative packaging designs for a wide range of products, offering customization and innovation to their clients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Child-Resistant Beauty Droppers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/childproof-dropper.md) - [Child-Resistant PET Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-bottles.md) - [Biodegradable Gummy Tubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atid.md) - [Next-Gen Cannabis Jars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rxdco-cocoon-jars-1.md) - [Private Label Pill Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vitamin-dispensing-system.md) - [Metal Tin Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squeeze-and-turn-tin.md) - [Modernized Waste-Free Medication Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-medicine-dispenser.md) - [Paperboard Supplement Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-based-canister.md) - [Personalized Vitamin Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daily-vitamin-pack.md)
