Why Food-Grade Polypropylene is the Best Packaging for Your Cannabis Product

In order to sell cannabis products you need to follow comprehensive federal regulations, fulfill all child-resistant packaging requirements and follow FDA guidelines. Some of these requirements for cannabis packaging include moisture control, aroma-proof, light-weight, ease of use and child-resistance.

Many designs and packages have been used over the years to pack cannabis products. From food-grade polypropylene bags, pouches and cases, cardboard cases, and metal boxes, each having its own pros and cons.
Even with several packaging options available, food-grade polypropylene has been one of the most successful materials for packaging cannabis products.

Child-Resistant

Food-grade polypropylene is quite versatile and can easily be formed into various shapes and designs than cardboard or paper. This becomes very important in achieving a very important requirement for cannabis products, i.e., child-resistant packaging.
Child-resistance is a necessary requirement for cannabis packaging to protect children from accessing the product. Therefore, in order to sell cannabis products, the packaging has to meet the FDA 16 CFR 1700.20 requirement for child-resistant packaging.
Cardboard packaging can get deformed easily due to its low strength. It breaks down easily and becomes fatigued, providing only temporary child-resistance. However, food-grade polypropylene packaging has much greater strength and doesn’t wear out even after being opened and closed repeatedly.

Preserves Aroma

Food-grade polypropylene also serves as a good oxygen and moisture barrier than cardboard. It’s less permeable than paper and helps preserve the aroma and quality of cannabis for a long time.
Even if the cardboard packaging is coated with a thin layer of food-grade polypropylene, it doesn’t protect the quality of the CBD products as well as packaging that’s completely made of food-grade polypropylene does.

Portable

As food-grade polypropylene is lighter than cardboard, it’s easily portable. Plus, the corner radii of food-grade polypropylene containers can be easily designed as compared to cardboard containers with sharp corners.
As food-grade polypropylene has blunt outer corners, it feels comfortable in your pocket. Plus, its rigid material also protects the product. This ensures it easily fits into the pant pockets without crushing the cannabis product.


Packaging your cannabis products in food-grade polypropylene is a more reliable, child-resistant, less-permeable and stronger option than cardboard. It protects your cannabis product from air, moisture, loss of aroma and damage in transit.
