How to Upgrade Cannabis Packaging

Cannabis products come in a variety of packaging forms, including glass jars, cartons, tins, plastic bags, and pouches.

FREMONT, CA: The legalization of cannabis in many U.S. states and nationwide in Canada has made purchasing cannabis products more modern, safe, and sophisticated.

Cannabis products are packaged in a variety of ways, including glass jars, cartons, tins, plastic bags, and pouches. There are advantages and disadvantages to packaging cannabis products in flexible pouches and bags, especially edibles and powders.

The target market for cannabis products has expanded since it has been legalized in different areas, including young professionals, parents, and even grandparents. Due to the stigma associated with cannabis in the past, these consumers may be hesitant to try it. In addition to putting the consumer at ease, packaging must reassure them that they are buying a legitimate, legal, safe product.

Packaging design experts recommend adding child-resistant packaging to cannabis products regardless of whether it is required by law. Since laws seem to only get stricter over time, adding child-resistant features to your bags now could save you from having to redesign them later.

When exposed to the elements (especially oxygen), cannabis products lose their shelf life and potency. Providing top-notch customer service is essential when you are selling premium products like cannabis. It is likely that they will switch to your competitors if your product is stale or less effective.

The packaging process for cannabis. Will it be packaging the legal cannabis product by hand or are you considering automating the process with cannabis packaging equipment? Packaging experts recommend choosing a bag style that has a wide mouth to accommodate a scoop or filling apparatus if you plan to hand-fill and seal your cannabis bags.

Additionally, remember that hand-packing over a long period of time is not the most efficient and cost-effective option, especially when the demand for the product is increasing. It is possible to create almost any bag style you want if you already own - or are considering purchasing - an automated cannabis packaging machine.
