HOW TO PACKAGE YOUR CANNABIS EDIBLE PRODUCTS

The legal cannabis industry is growing so fast, which is great news for emerging cannabis edibles businesses. It can also be bad news, though, because that means competition is intense when it comes to marketing, branding, and packaging your cannabis edibles. However,at Hempacka we can help you with the cannabis edible packaging from design to production. Here are some packaging options you could choose:

Printed Mylar Bags – You can also get Mylar bags that have locking mechanisms and tamper-evident features so that your edibles are protected. Sounds boring and simple, right? Not necessarily. If you print a pattern or a logo all over your bag, you can really stand out from the crowd. Upscale cannabis brands from celebrities like Snoop Dog have packaging printed with designer patterns, and you can do the same to make your cannabis edible packaging unique.

Kraft Paper Bags – Kraft paper is that dark brown paper that’s used in grocery bags and plain mailing paper. Though it might remind you of the brown bags you used to put your school lunch in as a kid, it gives commercial packaging a really cool, DIY, small business, eco-friendly look. Kraft paper brings to mind simplicity, recycling, and nature. This makes it perfect for a natural herbal product like cannabis edibles, and your customers will be drawn to that sort of hippie look. Kraft paper also looks really good with simple green logos and text!

Clear Window Bags – Alright, so bags with a clear window may seem like a typical way to package regular snacks or candies, but you can use that to your advantage with cannabis edibles. With a new or unfamiliar product, people are reassured by packaging that is similar to what they’ve seen before, so as long as your branding is on point, a clear window bag can be a creative way to showcase and protect your cannabis edibles.

Glass Jars – Now, glass jars are a classic in packaging for a reason, and they can call up all sorts of good associations for consumers. Glass jars make people think of medicine and also candies, and they have a kind of old-fashioned elegance that will make your cannabis edibles look appealing. You also don’t have to worry about freshness or chemical leaching with glass edible containers.

Pop Top Bottles – What do we mean by pop top? Just that. You squeeze the sides of these plastic containers, and the top pops open for easy access but stays closed otherwise. While they are usually used for pre-rolled cannabis cigarettes, their long, slender shape makes them great for stick candies, gummies, hard candies, or other small, dry cannabis edibles.

Prescription Style Bottles – One of the hottest branding trends for new cannabis products is playing up the medical aspect of “medical marijuana.” You can do this easily by using plastic bottles with prescription style caps as your cannabis edible packaging. There are even bottles with reversible caps that let your customers use the “push and turn” prescription closure or a simple screw top.
