Infused pre-rolls are no longer a niche extension sitting at the edge of the cannabis shelf. They have become one of the most important segments in the pre-roll category, and that changes the packaging decision. Headset reported that infused and connoisseur formats accounted for 48.5% of U.S. pre-roll sales in Q1 2026. Multipacks represented 54.2% […]

There is no useful one-line answer to the question, “How much does custom cannabis packaging cost?” A 5,000-unit child-resistant bag program and a 50,000-unit custom tin program have completely different cost structures. Even two packages that look nearly identical can price differently because of material, decoration, closures, inserts, tooling, freight, production quantity, and how many […]

Medical cannabis packaging has to solve a slightly different problem from packaging built only for an adult-use retail shelf. The package still needs to protect the product, meet applicable child-resistant requirements, survive distribution, and support the brand. But depending on the state, a medical cannabis program can also introduce patient-specific labeling, dosage information, batch traceability, […]

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 […]
