Why Packaging Matters for Cannabis & CBD
*Written by the Cubit Packaging editorial team. Industry data verified by our packaging engineers. Last updated June 2026.* The cannabis and CBD packaging market demands a unique combination of strict regulatory compliance and compelling brand design. Every state enforces different rules for child-resistant closures, opaque packaging, THC warning labels, and testing data placement, making compliant custom packaging essential for market entry. Cubit delivers packaging that meets ASTM D3475 child-resistant certification standards across all product formats: flower, pre-rolls, edibles, concentrates, tinctures, topicals, and vape cartridges. Our CR mechanisms include click-lock boxes, push-and-turn tins, squeeze-to-open mylar bags, and slide-lock rigid boxes, all tested and certified for child resistance. Beyond compliance, cannabis brands compete on shelf presence. Premium matte finishes, metallic foil stamping, strain-specific color coding, and custom structural designs help dispensary products stand out in crowded retail environments. Our design team works with brands at every positioning level, from luxury cannabis to wellness CBD to value-focused products, creating packaging that communicates quality before the product is ever opened. The legal cannabis packaging market is projected to reach $4.2 billion by 2028 at 14.7% CAGR — the fastest-growing packaging vertical globally (BDSA, 2024). All 38 legal states require child-resistant, tamper-evident, and opaque packaging for cannabis products.

Ordering cannabis and CBD packaging in volume
Multi-state operators, licensed brands, white-label producers and distributors that supply dispensaries buy packaging in volume, usually across many strains, flavors and state versions. Each request is quoted at your quantity and up to three larger runs. Your compliance team reviews and approves a proof of every design before anything is printed. Production takes 10 to 14 business days from approval, after which packaging is shipped delivered duty paid (DDP) to the address you choose.
