3 Best Packaging Practices for Your Cannabis Products

Many states have now legalized cannabis products for medical and recreational purposes. As a result, a large variety of innovative and unique packaging options are now available for marijuana dispensaries, suppliers, and growers. According to a research report by Zion Market Research, the worldwide market for cannabis products packaging is estimated to increase over $20.4 billion by the year 2025.

To cut through the clutter of competitors in the cannabis industry, it’s better to adopt some tried-and-tested packaging practices. Ahead, we have rounded up some effective cannabis packaging tips for you!

Create a RIP-Roaring Shelf Impact

This goes for any product, not just cannabis—if you’re not standing out from your competitors on that shelf, there are high chances that you will be replaced with a substitute. You need to find the right balance of design and innovation where your product doesn’t just look visually appealing, but also pleasing to the other four senses. For instance, stand-up, readymade bags are great packaging solutions for edible cannabis. These packages look great, have sufficient surface space for typography, and they are very portable—all in all, a great packaging option for modern consumers.

Using Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)

Exposure to oxygen and other elements in the atmosphere can significantly decrease the useful life and effectiveness of medical marijuana and cannabis. Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is an effective solution to retain the freshness and potency of cannabis while it’s still on the shelf. This part of the packaging process includes pumping non-toxic nitrogen gas inside the packaging before it is sealed.  Nitrogen protects the marijuana against oxygen and delays the aging and degradation process.

Child Proof Packaging

Children in our homes can find their way to medical and recreational cannabis, just like they do with every other medicine. Every state law has its own requirements for packaging of cannabis products.

The US law has declared that by January 1st, 2020, all cannabis products available in the market must have child-resistant packaging. Companies will be required to meet the Child Resistant Packaging (CRP) parameters established by the Consumer Product and Safety Commission. A few examples of safe and effective child resistant packaging are Mylar bags, barrier bags, push and turn cannabis jars, metal containers, metered dose packages with locking options.
