Cannabis vape cartridges come in different sizes, oil formulations and hardware styles, so the packaging should do more than simply hold the cartridge. It needs to protect the hardware, keep the cartridge securely positioned and create a consistent presentation from individual retail packs to multi-unit display packaging.
Our Custom Cannabis Vape Cartridge Packaging can be developed around your actual cartridge dimensions, branding and retail requirements. Options include child-resistant rigid boxes, custom inserts, premium printing finishes and matching vape cartridge display boxes for 10-count, 20-count or other case pack quantities.
Packaging can be customized for CBD, THC, live resin, live rosin, distillate and other 510-thread cannabis vape cartridges.
Cartridge packaging should be designed around the hardware instead of forcing different cartridges into one standard insert. A 0.5ml cartridge, 1ml cartridge or wider 1g cartridge may require different internal dimensions, spacing and support points.
We can develop the box and insert according to your cartridge samples, technical drawings or dimensions. This helps reduce unnecessary movement inside the packaging while creating a cleaner and more consistent retail presentation.

Child-resistant functionality is an important consideration for many cannabis vape products. Instead of adding the CR feature after the packaging structure has already been developed, we recommend considering the opening mechanism, cartridge position and user experience from the beginning of the project.
Depending on the box style, different child-resistant opening mechanisms can be developed. Certified CR structures are available upon request, allowing brands to select an appropriate packaging solution based on the product, market and retail requirements.

For cannabis brands looking for a more substantial presentation, rigid set-up boxes provide a stronger and more premium alternative to standard folding cartons.
A typical construction uses 1000gsm greyboard wrapped with 157gsm printed paper. The finished box has a solid feel and provides additional protection around the cartridge during handling and retail display.
The rigid box arrives pre-assembled and requires no folding during packing. It also works well with premium finishes such as soft-touch lamination, foil stamping, embossing, debossing and spot UV.
The insert is an important part of vape cartridge packaging because it keeps the hardware in position and affects how the product is presented when the box is opened.
Available insert materials include:
Paperboard inserts
Molded pulp inserts
PVC or PET trays
EVA inserts
Insert dimensions and cut-outs can be adjusted for 0.5ml, 1ml, 1g and other cartridge formats. Single-cartridge and multi-cartridge layouts can both be developed according to your hardware.
In addition to individual cartridge boxes, we can develop a matching vape cartridge display box to hold multiple packaged units together. This gives brands a more organized solution for retail display, distribution and case packing.
Common configurations include 10-count and 20-count display boxes, while other quantities can be customized according to the dimensions of the individual cartridge package.
Display Box Options
10-count case pack · 20-count case pack · Custom pack quantities · Matching printed artwork · Custom internal layout · Retail display configurations
The display packaging can use the same artwork, Pantone colors and surface finishes as the individual cartridge boxes, helping maintain a consistent brand identity across the complete packaging system.
For projects with multiple strains, formulations or SKUs, the same display box structure can often be retained while changing the printed artwork or color coding.
Developing the individual cartridge box and display box together can make the complete packaging system more efficient. The dimensions of the retail box can be planned around the required case pack quantity, reducing unnecessary empty space inside the display package.
For example, a 10-count display box can be engineered around ten individual cartridge packages, while a 20-count version can use a different arrangement based on the product dimensions and preferred display orientation.
This is especially useful for brands that want consistent packaging across individual retail units, counter displays and larger product programs.
The same cartridge hardware may be used for different cannabis oil formulations, but the branding and positioning can vary significantly. Packaging can therefore be customized according to each product line while maintaining a consistent structural system.
Common applications include:
Live resin cartridges · Live rosin cartridges · THC cartridges · CBD cartridges · Distillate cartridges · 510-thread cartridges · Other cannabis vape oil cartridges
Premium products such as live resin and live rosin often use more refined finishes, while larger product ranges may use the same packaging structure with different colors, artwork or foil details to distinguish strains and formulations.
Custom cannabis cartridge packaging does not need to start from a fixed box size. The dimensions, opening structure, cartridge insert, display box and artwork can all be developed according to your product and branding.

Lamination: Matte, gloss and soft-touch options
Premium Finishes: Foil stamping, embossing, debossing and spot UV

If you already have the cartridge, you can provide the hardware sample or dimensional drawing. We can review the cartridge dimensions first and then develop the individual box, insert and display box around the complete packaging requirement.
This approach is particularly useful when a project requires both individual retail packaging and a specific 10ct or 20ct case pack, because the dimensions can be considered together before sampling.
If you have not yet decided which structure is most suitable, send us your cartridge size, required quantity and packaging idea through our packaging recommendation page.
Yes. The box dimensions and insert can be developed according to your cartridge sample or dimensional drawing. This is usually more reliable than using a generic insert and trying to make different hardware fit the same packaging.
Yes. Child-resistant structures are available. Because the CR function depends on the complete box construction and opening mechanism, it is best to confirm the required structure and target market during the early development stage.
Yes. We can develop 10ct, 20ct and other custom display box configurations according to the dimensions of your individual cartridge packaging. The artwork and finishing can also be matched with the retail boxes.
In many cases, yes. If the individual box dimensions remain the same, one display box structure can be used across different strains, oil formulations or SKUs while changing the artwork, colors or product information.
Yes. The packaging can be customized for live resin, live rosin, distillate, THC, CBD and other cannabis vape cartridges. The box structure can remain consistent while the artwork and finishing change between different product lines.
Yes. Inserts and box dimensions can be adjusted for different cartridge sizes. If several cartridge sizes are included in the same packaging program, we can also review whether a common outer box can be used with different inserts.
The MOQ for this custom rigid cartridge packaging starts from 2,000 pieces. Final MOQ may vary depending on the box structure, insert material, display box requirements and printing specifications.
Yes. Custom samples can be produced before mass production so you can review the dimensions, cartridge fit, opening experience, printing, insert and display box configuration.
Send us your cartridge dimensions, required quantity, artwork and preferred box style. If you also need a 10ct, 20ct or custom display box, let us know the required case pack quantity so the complete packaging system can be developed together.
