Active ingredients vs. packaging

Know your ingredients – If your product and the container aren’t compatible, you will run into numerous quality issues such as leaks or contamination. By understanding your ingredients and choosing the right type of material, you can reduce costs, maximize shelf life and maintain a positive brand image. The best packaging materials should appeal to the customer as well as keep the skincare products safe throughout its shelf life. In addition, the packaging material should be strong and durable enough to protect the product from external factors such as heat and moisture. Think about how you want the customer to experience your product both in a retail setting and online.

How do paper and plastic affect cannabis flower?
