The Ultimate Guide To Hemp Pre-Roll Packaging

 Outstanding packaging is critical to the success of your pre-roll brand. Not only will the Hemp Pre-Roll Packaging keep you compliant in a highly regulated business, but it will also ensure that your product stands out from the crowd.

Dispensary shelves are stocked with an apparently limitless variety of pre-rolls for customers to try. The packaging of a pre-roll is the first thing that catches the attention of customers, and it is our mission to offer you with everything you need to ensure that your pre-roll is the center of attention!

Everything Begins With The Pre-Roll

There is a pre-roll before there is packing. In other words, the choices you make throughout the pre-roll production process will have a significant impact on your packaging alternatives.

Every packaging option you make will be influenced in some manner by the size and type of each pre-roll. The amount of flower you intend to pack into each pre-roll will have the most impact on the size of your packing; however, keep in mind that pre-rolls (of the same weight) might vary in size depending on the cultivar and how densely they are packed. You should also provide a few additional millimeters of space in case a pre-roll takes longer than intended.

You have the opportunity to be inventive here. You can differentiate yourself from other producers by delivering something new; yet, there is something to be said about what is already working in your pre-roll industry. The best pre-roll brands include a wide range of sizes, varieties, and styles.

Options For Hemp Pre-Roll Packaging

You need to make sure they will fit now that you know what size pre-roll and how many pre-rolls per pack you want to provide. We've heard similar instances from clients who ordered custom packaging directly from China or India, only to discover that the sizing was incorrect and their products did not fit inside. What a dreadful nightmare!

We will go over your package options briefly in this section, but SirePrinting is more than simply a product catalog. Our team of specialists will walk you through the entire process and work with you to ensure that your packaging looks great and fits precisely. So, let's get started!

Custom Hemp Pre-Roll Packaging Vs. Stock Pre-Roll Packaging

One of the first judgments you must make is if you want or need unique cannabis packaging. You may tailor totally customized packaging to properly fit your items. Custom packaging is only limited by your ideas; nevertheless, it may not be possible for new brands just getting started or for smaller, limited-release type products.

SirePrinting not only provides totally customized cannabis packaging, but we are also happy to provide the most extensive selection of stock hemp pre-roll packaging solutions! So, if you want to get your project up and running as soon as possible, this is your best alternative.

Stock packaging features a smaller minimum order quantity, substantially shorter lead times, and much greater flexibility. Simply order custom labels and you'll have stock packaging that looks like custom packaging in no time!

The most popular packaging solutions combine stock and custom packaging. For example, you can apply bespoke labels on stock jars or pre-roll tubes. You maintain your supply chain more agile by avoiding completely custom jars/caps or custom printing right on the tubes.

Pre-Roll Singles Vs. Pre-Roll Multi-Packs

The next thing to think about is how many pre-rolls you want to include in each packet. SirePrinting has everything you need to help bring your concept to reality, whether you require custom packaging or something that is already in stock.

Single pre-rolls are a practical and cost-effective alternative for consumers, and they are an excellent way for cannabis stores to encourage impulse purchases. Pre-Rolls are simple. They are something a consumer will pick up on their way to a concert, hike, or party, and they are typically the finest way for producers to persuade customers to try your newest brand or strain. The 1 gram pre-roll is still the most popular pre-roll product in the country!

Multi-packs, on the other hand, are excellent for building consumer loyalty. A multi-pack's larger packaging size provides more space for branding options and a method to promote all of your best strains at once for growers.

While we encourage providing a variety of SKUs to your clients, we understand that it can be tough to know where to begin. Some brands may release individual pre-rolls of specific strains before providing a multi-pack of diverse strain variety joints or blunts. Others may go right into popular cannabis products, such as selling a five or ten pack of "dogwalker" small pre-rolls.

If at all possible, provide single pre-rolls as well as pre-roll multi-packs. These things will be available at various price points, will appeal to different customer types, or will be better suited for specific events. In other words, if someone wants to buy a pre-roll, you've got them covered!

Here Are A Few Pointers To Think About As You Get Started:

Almost 63% of all brands polled offer a 1 gram pre-roll, which is by far the most popular size. Almost half (43%) provide a 0.5 gram joint, whereas just 18% provide a.75 gram joint.

Pre-rolls are available in larger and smaller sizes, however they are not as frequent.

The single and two-pack of half-gram pre-rolls dominate the budget-conscious market; however, larger multi-packs of smaller pre-rolls (commonly referred to as "dogwalkers") are gaining popularity.

Infused and Connoisseur pre-rolls now account for 41% of the whole pre-roll market, up from 30% in the previous two years.

Materials

Because your packaging is a direct representation of your brand and products, you'll want to make sure the materials you use complement your branding and appeal to your customers.

Most firms will place at least one of their pre-roll brands inside a plastic, pop-top tube. These tubes, made of polypropylene plastic, are technically recyclable in most places; however, they might be challenging to recycle effectively.

While plastic pop-top tubes are a quick and cost-effective solution to pack your pre-rolls, that may not be the message you want to associate with your pre-roll brand. For example, if you're creating a high-end, infused pre-roll, you might want to package it in a glass tube to portray a sense of luxury to both budtenders and customers. We even have a selection of gorgeous caps that will make your pre-rolls stand out on the rack!

If sustainability and the environment are important aspects of your brand, avoid using plastic packaging in favor of something more recyclable. We provide a wide range of paper, glass, and tin packaging solutions for organizations searching for a more environmentally friendly option, as well as a first-of-its-kind 100% compostable and bio-degradable pop-top tube!

SirePrinting has the customisation and stock options to make your package material stand out in dispensaries, no matter what you need it to say!

The Function Of Packaging

Now that you know how you want your package to appear and feel, it's time to think about functionality. Packaging must speak to your company's branding while also keeping the goods in good condition/fresh and in conformity with local laws.

Preserving Pre-Rolls

Fortunately, maintaining the integrity of a pre-roll is simple. You'll want packaging that doesn't allow the joint to be easily bent/broken, and you'll want to make sure they can be sealed in a way that keeps the cannabis fresh. In other words, solid packaging guarantees that your clients get the most out of your product.

Although packaging pre-rolls in a mylar bag is the cheapest option, the flexibility of these bags may result in pre-rolls being shattered in transportation or after your clients purchase them. Although mylar bags are excellent oxygen and moisture barriers, they give the impression of a low-cost or budget pre-roll product.

We recommend combining your product with moisture/humidity packs like the Boveda humidity packs or these tiny humidity regulator packs for added moisture assurance, especially for longer-term items like pre-roll multi-packs or long-term storage of hemp wrap cones.

To keep paper packaging fresh, we highly recommend using our overwrapping machine to seal your pre-roll multi-packs like a pack of smokes, tea, or perfume. The biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) material has a high moisture and oxygen barrier, which means it keeps moisture locked in and oxygen out, keeping your pre-rolls fresh! We also provide shrink wrap, which is simpler and less expensive but less efficient as a moisture and oxygen barrier.

Compliance With Hemp Pre-Roll Packaging

Compliance, on the other hand, is a bit more difficult. The main issue is that there are no universal laws governing the cannabis industry. Your compliance standards will be specific to your area, so conduct your research before finalizing your package.

If you live in the United States or Canada, make sure to read our blogs about compliance in your country. If you'd prefer to speak with a professional, please contact us and one of our compliance specialists can explain you through your options. We understand that it doesn't matter how wonderful your branding appears or how well it smokes at the end of the day. Nobody can attempt it if it is not compliant.

Tamper-Evident And Child-Resistant Packaging

When it comes to pre-roll compliance, most laws focus around two concepts. The first requirement is that specific information be displayed on the box. Cannabinoid content, total weight of cannabis material, or warning labels are typical examples. This is simple because the only difficulty is finding a location for it on the box.

The second consideration is the product's accessibility. Some states, for example, require tamper-evident packaging for items. This means that a consumer must first break a factory seal in order to gain access to the goods. In some states, producers are obligated to include this information on their products. It's intended to reassure customers that their product was not tampered with after it left your facility. Pre-rolls often have a plastic wrap or sticker over the opening.

Other states require child-resistant packaging. In other words, your things should not be too simple to open. Fortunately, packaging is available with or without child-resistant certification, so all you really need to do is pick one with the appropriate certification; nevertheless, this does not imply you should not put any work into determining the best alternative.

If you've ever used child-resistant technology (CR), you'll know that it can sometimes feel like person-resistant technology. Some CR packaging will be easier to open than others, and not everyone is equally capable. For example, cannabis is frequently used to provide treatment to those suffering from arthritis. Are they going to be able to open your package?

You must also evaluate whether your product can stay child-resistant once it has been opened. Our Push Pack, for example, is child-resistant every time it is opened and closed, although some brands prefer a cigarette-style box. This type of box can be made child-proof by sealing it in a mylar bag; but, once the seal is broken, there is no turning back. This will cause a product to be out of compliance in some states.

In summary, take your time thinking over these issues! We offer a choice of packaging (multi-packs, pre-roll tubes, and toppers) to match both your CR and customer demands. You'll have options for how the package opens, whether it can be resealed, and, of course, everything you need to make it look fantastic! We're always pleased to send you samples to test, so please contact us at any time.

Design compliance laws may even impose requirements on the color and/or opaqueness of your packaging. For example, in several states, see-through hemp pre-roll packaging is banned. Fortunately, this is not a major issue when it comes to locating a reliable packaging choice. While clear packaging is not a possibility, there are plenty of opaque color alternatives in most packaging types to match your brand's needs, such as our matte white or black glass tubes or even mirror finish gold or silver glass tubes.

Some states' regulations are even tougher. In New Mexico, for example, packaging must be compostable, recyclable, or recycled, and Vermont mandates all cannabis products to be packaged in reusable, non-plastic materials. A paper or bio-degradable pre-roll tube is your best chance here.

Finally, most states will have regulations that govern your branding choices. You will not be permitted to utilize imagery that is considered enticing to youngsters, like in other regulated businesses (alcohol and tobacco). This implies you won't be able to incorporate cartoon characters into your branding.

The most aggravating aspect about compliance regulations, regardless of where you live, is that they change frequently and with little notice. A new law may be enacted that causes you to go out of compliance. So, even if you have access to our professionals here at SirePrinting, be sure to get in touch with your local governing organizations to stay up to date on any changes in the regulations.
