Types Of Cannabis Packaging | CBD Packaging
Cannabis and Cannabis Products Have Been Legalized
Now that cannabis and CBD have been legalized in one way or another in virtually every state, there’s an influx of products on the market. From flower and edibles to vape cartridges and oil, there are a ton of products to market — and options for packaging cannabis products. Regardless of the specific product (or products) you sell, selecting the right THC or CBD packaging can make or break your success. From rigid cannabis packaging toflexible cannabis packaging, here’s a breakdown of thedifferent types of cannabis packaging to choose from.
Rigid Cannabis Packaging
As the name implies, rigid and semi-rigid cannabis packaging is anything that’s hard to the touch, including glass bottles and jars, tin containers, and plastic vials. Rigid cannabis packaging and containers, in general, are better than paper and has its benefits (it protects delicate flower from breakage, and is very moisture resistant and smell-proof), but it can also be very difficult to transport and store in bulk. Here’s a bit more information about each of the rigid packaging types for THC.
Glass Jars and Bottles Packaging Types
The primary selling point of this packaging type for packaging cannabis is that it means customers can see exactly what’s inside the containers before purchasing. Since customers can’t legally smell or touch products in most dispensaries, sight is the main sense they’ll use to get to know your product. Glass also doesn’t react to most chemicals, meaning THC won’t leech into the weed packaging and other chemicals won’t make their way inside.
Packaging Cannabis in Tin Containers
This weed packaging type is often used for pre-rolls or certain edibles, like candies or mints, to help keep out moisture and sunlight so the product within stays fresh. Many companies opt to use sliding properties for the tin containers (similar to a tin of Altoids), but tin containers can be customized to pop open or contain a clear top or viewing window. It all comes down to you and your preferences.
Plastic Tubes for Marijuana
Finally, the ever-popular plastic pop-top tubes. These are probably the type of cannabis packaging that most people are familiar with. They can be used to custom package pre-rolls, whole cannabis flower, or pre-ground marijuana. The lids are child-resistant, and the tubes are easy to label.
Flexible Cannabis Packaging Types
Many cannabis companies are moving away from bulky and rigid packaging to flexible packaging. In general, flexible packaging is easy to customize, can be ordered in bulk to save you money, and doesn’t take up as much space in storage.

Customized Cannabis Packaging Types
Any of the above packaging options can be customized to fit your unique needs. In many cases, flexible packaging is easier to customize, and customization options for custom flexible packaging include the following:
- Holographic elements – Incorporating holographic gloss laminate elements into your packaging will make it look cool. You can add small holographic touches or make the entire bag holographic in nature.
- Zipper – Adding a zipper or other resealable aspect to your marijuana and CBD packaging means your customer can use the product over time without sacrificing quality, taste, or potency.
- Child-resistant properties – Making your cannabis packing child-resistant isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s the law. We encourage all customers to obey all local and state laws for cannabis packaging.
- Tamper-resistant properties – By incorporating a tear notch or heat seal into your bag, your customer will be able to tell if their cannabis has been tampered with.
- High-quality finishes – From soft-touch finishes to Spot UV, you can take your CBD packaging to the next level with one of our high-quality, premium finishes.
