CERTIFIED AND COMPLIANT CANNABIS PACKAGING MADE SIMPLE
Child-proof containers or child-resistant packaging arecommonly used for prescription drugs, over the counter medications, pesticidesor for household chemicals, where there is significant risk of illness or deathfrom ingestion.
Normally this is accomplished by the use of a special safetycap, invented in 1967 by Dr. Henry Breault. If you have opened a pill bottleafter that, chances are you have come across a push and twist caps.
This very consistent concept did not change for decades. Butnow, after recreational Cannabis legalization, industry professionals anddesigners are reinventing safety containers.
Compliance and Creativity
The focus of every Cannabis producer, dispensary or smokeshop owner should be on compliance with the regulations concerningchild-resistant packaging.
Legalization has attracted close attention to Cannabisproducts and brands. So, it’s important to show credibility and be associatedwith legal and safe consumption.
Because there are so many legal requirements, businessesmust be able to adapt to them, especially those about children’s safety.Cannabis products must be contained in childproof bags or pouches. Bottles andvials are also largely used for medical cannabis, but new packaging solutionshave emerged.
Now it’s possible to choose from a variety of child-proofreversible medical bottles, reversible cap vials, jars with safety lockmechanisms, zipper bags, vacuum and Mylar bags or envelopes, all of themdesigned to meet the regulatory demands. Think of them as an evolution of theplastic sandwich Ziploc bag. They are safer, more attractive and lendlegitimacy to your product and your brand.
Accessible and Safe
Apart from recreational use, medicinal cannabis has expandedto a variety of products such as edibles, topical and concentrates that urgeddesigners to create specific packaging for marijuana.
Closer attention should be placed on cannabis-infusededibles, because they are appealing to children and can be easily confused withcandy. Since they come in the form of candy or chocolate, they are fairly easyfor a child to ingest.
Child-resistant containers and warning labels for medicalCannabis may help prevent accidental ingestion and the risk of poisoning.
Compliance and Information
