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. […]

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 […]
Travel size airless pump bottles can be a practical packaging option for skincare brands developing samples, mini products, trial kits, travel sets, and on-the-go skincare items. These smaller airless formats help brands present skincare products in a compact package while keeping the look connected to the full-size product line. For beauty and skincare brands, travel […]
Child-resistant mylar bags account for the majority of cannabis packaging volume in the US market. They are the default format for bulk flower, high-volume edibles, and value-tier SKUs across virtually every legal state. At roughly $0.10 to $0.15 per unit, they deliver the lowest per-unit packaging cost of any CR format, which is why they […]
