Challenges faced in Cannabis Edible Packaging

 Challenges faced in Cannabis Edible Packaging

You may manufacture the best, highest-quality edibles, but with proper cannabis edible packaging, your consumers might not get to enjoy all that goodness. Edibles like gummies, chews, chocolates, or baked goods are pretty delicate and are more susceptible to damage during transportation, handling, or storage. So what protects your products while making them look tempting enough to catch the eye of your customers? Yes, you are correct. Packaging!

However, choosing one is not a walk in the park. With cannabis packaging laws and regulations, there are so many factors to consider before creating your masterpiece.

Listed below are the top five challenges faced in Cannabis Edible Packaging:

Balancing Sturdiness and Sustainability

For a package to be strong enough to be child-safe while being eco-friendly and sustainable can be quite challenging. Plastic is often utilized to meet child-resistant packaging requirements, which are not as eco-friendly as other materials. Fortunately, packaging companies, such as CRATIV Packaging, offer an innovative solution. All CRATIV containers are recyclable, reusable, and treated with additives that accelerate the process of degradation in landfills.

Labeling vs. Branding

Along with the legalization of hemp, some states imposed their own packaging rules and regulations. Apart from the FDA’s general labeling requirements such as product name, list of ingredients, net weight, and so on, QR codes and FDA warning statements should also be included. With all these included, adding proper branding is the next challenge.

Standing Out From the Crowd

Limited cannabis edible packaging options and watertight rules leave very little room for creativity. This makes it very difficult for cannabis companies to distinguish themselves from the competition. Instead, cannabis companies should look for packaging providers like CRATIV to create innovative solutions to help them stand put while staying compliant with US laws and regulations.

Finding the Right Packaging Partner

When looking for an edible packaging supplier, cannabis companies should look for modern packaging solutions and reliable suppliers who can deliver the goods within the allotted time. In addition, they should also offer flexible delivery times and customization options.

Consumer Satisfaction

Consumers are now more environment-conscious and want their packaging to be sustainable while being easy to use. As per US and Canadian packaging law, your cannabis containers should be child-resistant, which means it should be difficult for children under the age of five to open in a reasonable amount of time. In addition, packaging should be designed so that it is relatively easy for adults to use without getting annoyed.

Cannabis consumers are increasing day by day. As a result, it is now more critical than ever for packaging companies to up their game and provides innovative solutions to all the challenges. With 50+ years of experience, Crativ Packaging provides effective, compliant, and sustainable packaging for pre-rolls, edibles, and flowers that help cannabis companies to shine while meeting all the branding requirements.
