Squeeze-to-Open Pop Caps. Airtight Odor-Proof Protection.
Certified ASTM D3475 pop-top & squeeze-to-open pre-roll joint tubes and glass vials.
Custom Child-Resistant Tubes (also known as pop-top joint tubes, squeeze-to-open doob tubes, or CR pre-roll glass vials) are tamper-evident, airtight container tubes designed for single and multi-pack pre-rolls, blunts, infused rolls, and cartridge storage. Certified to ASTM D3475 safety standards, these tubes feature squeeze-at-top pop caps or push-down-and-turn childproof closures that keep moisture out while locking in aroma.
Custom Child-Resistant Tubes are the premier packaging format for single pre-rolls, multi-pack joints, king-size blunts, and vape cartridges in the legal cannabis and botanical extract industries. Engineered with a patented squeeze-at-top mechanism, squeezing the upper walls of the tube pops open the tethered lid with an audible 'pop' sound, providing instant childproof security that is effortlessly accessible for adult consumers.
Manufactured from heavy-duty food-grade polypropylene (PP) or thick borosilicate glass with push-and-turn caps, our CR tubes provide 100% airtight and odor-proof storage. They protect delicate herbal terpenes, prevent moisture loss or humidity degradation, and ensure full compliance with state packaging mandates.

See how businesses across different sectors use this packaging
Licensed dispensaries use CR tubes as primary packaging for single pre-rolls, king-size joints, and infused pre-rolls. ASTM D3475 certification is mandatory in all legal cannabis markets. Tubes protect product integrity while meeting state packaging compliance.
Contract pre-roll manufacturers pack 100-1,000+ tubes per shift into automated cone-filling machines. Tubes must maintain consistent inner diameter (9.5mm standard) for automated packing. Clear tubes allow visual QC inspection before sealing.
CBD flower and hemp pre-roll brands use CR tubes for retail and online DTC sales. While federal CBD regulations are less strict, CR tubes signal product safety and build consumer trust. Kraft and eco-friendly tube materials align with wellness brand positioning.
0.5g and 1.0g vape cartridges and dab applicators fit perfectly in 14mm and 16mm inner diameter CR tubes. Glass tubes with push-and-turn caps protect delicate ceramic coil cartridges from impact damage during shipping.
Medical cannabis programs in 38+ states require pharmaceutical-grade CR packaging. Glass CR tubes with humidity control inserts maintain precise moisture levels (58-62% RH) for therapeutic flower products. Full lot traceability via laser-engraved batch codes.
Brands package 3-pack and 5-pack pre-roll variety sets by placing individual CR tubes inside custom printed outer cartons. Each tube holds a different strain with color-coded caps. Retail gift sets and sampler packs drive higher average order values.
Choose materials, printing, and finishing options
FDA-grade virgin polypropylene at 1.2mm wall thickness. Crystal-clear transparency lets consumers see tube contents before purchase. Withstands temperatures from -10°C to 120°C without warping. Squeeze-pop CR mechanism rated for 200+ cycles.
UV-blocking black PP formulation shields light-sensitive cannabis terpenes and concentrates from photodegradation. Same 1.2mm wall thickness as clear PP but with carbon black additive for 100% light blockage. Preferred by premium flower brands.
Tinted polypropylene in amber, green, blue, or custom Pantone shades. Amber blocks 99.5% of UV light below 500nm wavelength while maintaining partial visibility. Popular for medical cannabis and pharmaceutical pre-rolls.
3.3 borosilicate glass tubes with push-and-turn CR caps. Wall thickness of 1.5mm provides superior impact resistance over standard soda-lime glass. Completely inert — zero chemical interaction with stored product. Premium option at $0.85-1.20/unit.
Made from 100% certified ocean-bound plastic collected within 50km of coastlines. Same squeeze-pop CR mechanism as virgin PP. Carries Ocean Bound Plastic certification and supports brands with sustainability storytelling.
Derived from corn starch or sugarcane, these PLA tubes are commercially compostable within 90 days. Slightly softer squeeze-pop mechanism. Best for brands targeting zero-waste consumers. Requires compost facility — not curbside recyclable.
Contains 30-50% post-consumer recycled polypropylene. Maintains identical CR certification and wall thickness to virgin PP. Slightly speckled appearance adds authentic recycled character. Reduces virgin plastic use by half.
Anodized 6061 aluminum tubes with threaded CR caps. Wall thickness 0.8mm. Infinitely recyclable without quality loss. Premium metallic finish available in 12 anodized colors. Superior smell-proof barrier versus plastic. Price point $1.50-2.00/unit.
