Process of Making Custom Cannabis Packaging

 
 

This article explains how custom cannabis packaging is produced step by step.
It is provided as a general guide for brands who want to understand our manufacturing process.

 
From Concept to Doorstep Delivery
Our streamlined process ensures that your custom cannabis packaging is functional, compliant, visually appealing, and delivered on time. Whether you need pre-roll packaging, vape packaging, edible packaging, flower packaging, seed packaging, or concentrate packaging, we guide you through every step.

Step 1: Provide Product Dimensions & Packaging Requirements
Start by sharing the exact dimensions and specifications of your cannabis product, such as:
  •  Vape cartridges
 
  • Pre-roll joints
  • Cannabis edibles & gummie
  • Marijuana flower
  • Seeds & concentrates

Each cannabis product has unique packaging requirements.
For example:
  • Pre-roll packaging should help prevent products from drying out
  • Concentrate packaging should be resistant to heat and light
  • Edible packaging often requires better sealing and odor control
  • Our team will help you select the most suitable custom cannabis packaging solution based on your product needs.CBD product
 
Step 2: Choose the Best Cannabis Packaging Solution

Once product details are confirmed, the next step is selecting the packaging style and material that best fits your brand and product.

We offer custom cannabis packaging in multiple materials, including:
(highly recommended for edible packaging and pre-roll packaging due to better sealing)

Glass packaging

Plastic packaging

Mylar packaging (odor-proof & moisture-resistant)


We help you evaluate aesthetics, functionality, compliance, and cost to make an informed decision.
 
 


Step 3: Packaging Dieline (Template) Development

After confirming the box style, our team will provide a professional packaging dieline (template).

This dieline:
  • Matches your product dimensions precisely
  • Guides your designer to apply artwork correctly
  • Ensures accurate cutting, folding, and assembly

Following the dieline precisely is critical to achieving a perfect fit.

Step 4: Prototype / Pre-Production Sampling (3–5 Days)

Before mass production, we create a prototype (pre-production sample) to:
  • Verify product fit
  • Test structure and child-resistant functions (if applicable)
  • Review design, layout, and overall appearance

Sampling helps eliminate risks and ensures everything is correct before large-scale manufacturing.
 
 

Step 5: Mass Printing & Box Assembly (12–20 Days)

Once the prototype is approved, we move into mass production:
  • Printing your design using high-quality processes
  • Box cutting, folding, and assembly
  • Insert installation (if required)

We maintain strict production standards to ensure consistent quality across all units.

Step 6: Quality Inspection & Control

Every batch undergoes rigorous quality inspection, including:
  • Printing accuracy
 
  • Structural integrity
 
  • Functionality (child-resistant mechanisms)
 
  • Overall appearance and durability

This step ensures your custom cannabis packaging meets both brand expectations and industry standards.
 


Step 7: Delivery (DDP Shipping Available)

After quality approval, your packaging is securely packed and shipped.

We mainly support DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipping, which is preferred by most US cannabis buyers.
DDP includes:
 
  • Export handling
  • Customs clearance
  • Duties & taxes
  • Door-to-door delivery

Your order arrives on time and hassle-free, ready for use.
