Cannabis Edibles Packaging Overview

Cannabis edibles are food and beverage products infused with cannabinoids, and they require    specialized packaging solutions to ensure safety, compliance, and product integrity in    regulated cannabis markets. Due to their resemblance to conventional food items, edible    packaging plays a critical role in preventing accidental consumption and communicating    product information clearly.

In most legal cannabis markets, edible products are commonly required to use    child resistant packaging    as part of state-level safety regulations, making packaging design an essential part of    edible product development.

Common Types of Cannabis Edibles

Cannabis edibles are available in a wide range of formats, each with different packaging,    storage, and compliance considerations. Common edible product types include:

• Gummies and soft chews

• Chocolates and confectionery products

• Mints, lozenges, and dissolvable tablets

• Baked goods and snack-style edibles

Each edible format presents unique challenges related to freshness, portion control,    labeling, and regulatory compliance, all of which must be addressed through appropriate    packaging structures.

Packaging Solutions for Cannabis Edibles

We provide custom edible packaging solutions designed to meet regulatory requirements,    protect product quality, and support brand presentation in competitive cannabis markets.    Common edible packaging formats include:

• Child resistant paper boxes with inner trays or custom inserts

• Child resistant tin cases for gummies, mints, and chocolates

• Child resistant mylar bags for flexible and cost-efficient edible packaging

• Plastic or hybrid containers combined with outer paper packaging

Packaging structures can be customized in size, material, and opening mechanism to align    with local cannabis regulations, product formats, and brand positioning.

Child Resistant Requirements for Edible Packaging

Due to the increased risk of accidental ingestion, cannabis edible packaging is typically    subject to stricter child-resistant requirements than inhalable products. In many jurisdictions,    these requirements apply to the outer packaging rather than the edible product itself.

Child resistant edible packaging is commonly designed and tested to meet recognized safety    standards, such as US 16 CFR 1700.20, while also incorporating mandatory warning statements,    dosage information, and universal cannabis symbols.
