Push-and-Turn Vials — Wholesale Child-Resistant Pharmacy Vials
Push-and-turn vials require simultaneous downward pressure and rotation to open — a two-step action that meets CPSC 16 CFR 1700.15 child-resistance requirements. They are specified in some pharmacy protocols for high-risk medications or dispensing environments that prioritize maximum child-resistance.
We stock push-and-turn vials in amber and clear from 6 to 60 dram, sold by the case from Jersey City, NJ.
For compliance details, refer to our pharmaceutical packaging compliance guide covering CPSC 16 CFR 1700.15 requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are push-and-turn vials different from pop-top vials?
Pop-top vials open with a push-down followed by a turn in sequence. Push-and-turn vials require a simultaneous push and turn as a single motion. Push-and-turn vials provide a slightly higher level of child resistance and are specified in some state pharmacy board protocols for controlled substance dispensing.
For high-volume dispensing, consider pop top vials — Script-Pro compatible and faster for high-volume dispensing.
Are push-and-turn vials Script-Pro compatible?
Script-Pro compatibility is not confirmed for push-and-turn vials, as it depends on specific vial brands and dimensions. For automated dispensing, the Philips Rx pop-top line has confirmed compatibility. Contact us for guidance on compatibility with your specific system.
For pharmacy automation, use Philips Rx pop top vials for Script-Pro automated dispensing.
Can I get push-and-turn vials in amber?
Yes. Amber push-and-turn vials are available across all standard dram sizes and are ideal for dispensing light-sensitive medications.
What is the minimum order?
Standard case quantities are 1,000 units per case for most sizes. There is no minimum order beyond a single case. Contact us for pallet pricing on larger orders.
