The market for legal cannabis edibles has grown increasingly sophisticated—and that includes the packaging options used for retail and medicinal products.
CRATIV Packaging’s founders used measurements from a bunch of edibles bought in Colorado to design child-resistant clamshell boxes to fit most of the products.
Dixie Elixir, the first product from Dixie Brands, uses a proprietary child-resistant bottle with a dosing cap that lets the user measure small amounts to drink.
Because child-resistant packaging requirements vary in states where cannabis is legal, many companies infusing food and drinks choose containers with the best protection—required or not—so they can sell the same packages everywhere.
Following its child-resistant slider closure released last year, Zip-Pak has added a less expensive press-to-close zipper to the Safety-Lok line for flexible plastic packages.
