Childproof packaging (10) for a product such as matches or pharmaceutical tablets includes a sleeve (12) and a container (14) for the product within the sleeve. The package includes two pairs of latches, (20-38-42, 22-40-44) with each latch of a pair oppositely located on the package. A user must use both hands simultaneously, with a respective hand operating a respective pair of latches, to hold the latches in an unlatched condition and also simultaneously to apply pressure to the container (14) to slide it outwardly relatively to the sleeve (12). Such a two-handed, five finger operation to open the package (10) requires a dexterity that is easy for adults but very difficult for children. Each latch may be a spring arm (42, 44) mounted tab or button (38,40) which seats in an aperture (20,22) in the sleeve (12). |
