Amber Rx Vials & Caps
Our amber prescription vials are the everyday workhorse of the dispensing counter. Moulded in durable polypropylene with an amber tint that filters ultraviolet light, they protect tablets and capsules from light degradation while giving pharmacists a clear, label-ready surface.
Choose push-down-and-turn child-resistant caps for standard dispensing, or reversible caps that patients with dexterity challenges can use in easy-open mode when requested.

Push & Turn Child-Resistant
The standard pharmacy closure. The patient pushes down and turns to open, helping keep medication away from children. Recommended for all general dispensing.

One side operates as a child-resistant closure; flip the cap over for easy-open use when a patient or prescriber requests non-CR packaging.
