Custom Packaging Built for Cannabis & CBD

The cannabis packaging market reached $1.8 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at over 20% CAGR as legalisation expands across North America, Europe, and Australia. This is the most heavily regulated packaging segment in existence — every cannabis and CBD brand must navigate a complex web of state, federal, and international requirements while still creating packaging that competes in an increasingly crowded market.

Brisk Packaging has developed deep expertise in cannabis-compliant packaging. Our child-resistant (CR) certified boxes meet ASTM D3475 standards, our opaque mylar bags prevent UV light degradation of cannabinoids, and our printing processes ensure compliance with mandatory health warnings, cannabinoid content panels, and track-and-trace requirements.

Beyond compliance, cannabis brands compete aggressively on packaging aesthetics — the market has evolved from plain brown bags to sophisticated luxury packaging that rivals premium spirits and cosmetics. We help cannabis brands balance regulatory requirements with bold brand expression through premium print finishes, embossed logos, foil stamping, and custom die-cut shapes.

  • Opaque mylar or foil-lined packaging preserves product potency by blocking UV light

Cannabis & CBD Packaging FAQs

Answers to common questions regarding logistics, materials, and ordering.

What does child-resistant packaging mean for cannabis products?
Child-resistant (CR) packaging must meet ASTM D3475 standards, which require that at least 85% of children under age 5 cannot open the package within 5 minutes, while 90% of adults can. We offer certified CR boxes, tubes, pouches, and mylar bags that meet these standards across all state markets.
Do you print mandatory health warnings on cannabis packaging?
Yes. We can pre-print state-specific mandatory health warnings, cannabinoid content panels, batch numbers, and compliance symbols directly onto your packaging. We work with your artwork to ensure all required information appears at the correct size, location, and contrast level for regulatory compliance.
What is the difference between mylar bags and regular cannabis packaging?
Mylar (BoPET film) bags provide superior protection against moisture, oxygen, and UV light — all of which degrade cannabinoids and terpenes over time. They also provide the smell-proof barrier required in many jurisdictions. Our mylar bags are available in various sizes with custom printing, zipper closures, and child-resistant options.
Can you help with pre-roll tube packaging?
Yes. We offer custom pre-roll tubes in plastic, paper, and metal options with child-resistant pop-top or screw-cap closures. Tubes can be shrink-wrapped with custom labels or direct-printed for a premium look. We also supply custom paper tubes for eco-conscious brands.
What state cannabis packaging regulations do you support?
We have worked with brands in California, Colorado, Michigan, Illinois, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and other legalised states, as well as Canadian and European markets. Our team can advise on your specific state requirements — just tell us where you are selling and we will ensure your artwork is compliant.
