Concentrate packaging has a harder job than its size suggests. A jar holding a small amount of rosin, wax, badder, live resin, or another extract may sit in direct contact with a high-value product for weeks or months before it reaches the consumer. During that time, the package has to protect the concentrate, maintain its […]

Search for cannabis packaging long enough and you will see the terms child proof packaging and child-resistant packaging used as if they mean the same thing. They do not. “Child proof” sounds like an absolute claim: a child cannot open the package. The regulatory terminology is child-resistant, and that distinction exists for a reason. Child-resistant […]

Cream tube packaging can be a practical option for skincare, hand care, body care, and personal care brands planning products that need flexible, easy-to-use packaging. Tubes are commonly used for hand creams, treatment creams, lotions, gels, masks, travel products, sample-size items, and mini SKUs. For B2B buyers, choosing cream tube packaging is not only about […]

Child resistant mylar bags are popular in cannabis for a reason. They are lightweight, economical, highly printable, easy to store, and flexible enough to work across flower, pre-rolls, edibles, and other product categories. But there is usually a point in a cannabis brand’s growth where the lowest-cost package is no longer automatically the best package. […]

For cannabis brands selling across multiple states, child-resistant packaging requirements are no longer a box to check once and forget about. A package that works for one market may need different documentation, labeling, material specifications, or sustainability reporting in another. That matters more in 2026 because packaging regulations are moving in two directions at once. […]

For the first several years of cannabis legalization, most brands treated CR packaging as a constraint to work around. The package had to be child-resistant, so it was. Everything else the packaging needed to do (communicate brand identity, create shelf presence, signal price tier) was layered on top of the compliance requirement as an afterthought. […]

Child-resistant containers is a broader term than child-resistant packaging. Packaging often implies a complete branded retail unit. Containers refers to the primary vessel itself: the jar, the tube, the tin, the bag. For buyers in the early stages of evaluating CR packaging options, understanding the container landscape before committing to any specific format is the […]

“Certified child-resistant” is one of the most used and least understood phrases in cannabis packaging. Brands source packaging described as certified, receive a Certificate of Compliance from the supplier, and assume the certification requirement is satisfied. Sometimes it is. Often the documentation does not cover what it claims to cover. The difference matters in a […]

The most common packaging mistake in cannabis is treating CR packaging as a single category. It is not. The CR format that works for a 3.5g flower eighth is the wrong format for a live resin cartridge. The format that works for a 10mg gummy pack is wrong for a pre-roll multi-pack. The format that […]
