A hollow box makes a good product before the customer even strikes a match. The flower quality can be compromised in a matter of days due to three key factors: crushing, moisture and light, which custom pre-roll packaging can shield against. Cannabis packaging studies reveal that more than 70% of dispensary shoppers evaluate the quality of the product based on the box making the packaging as much a part of the product as the roll itself.
The material used in a box will be the key to its longevity when it comes to shipping, handling and months on a shelf. Pre-roll box packaging is usually in kraft paper, rigid boxes, corrugated stock or tin, all of which are often cost-effective, durable and environmentally friendly in different ways. For brands that are looking for a natural and sustainable appearance, Kraft suits are the perfect choice, whereas rigid board brings the luxury feel that cannabis brands are looking for. Corrugated stock is the smart choice for brands shipping bulk orders, as it is resistant to pressure during bulk shipping.
Box style shapes function and impression. There are several different options for custom pre-roll boxes, each addressing a unique retail challenge such as slide-drawer, flip-top, tuck-end, magnetic closure and window-cut boxes. Slide drawer boxes provide perfect sealing, ensuring freshness even after several months. Boxes used for windows allow consumers to look inside the box without opening it, thus accelerating impulse buying at checkout counters.Magnetic closures contribute to a high-end feel and make the shelving worth a bit more.
Most markets require cannabis products to be compliant with state packaging regulations and Pre-Roll Packages featuring certified child-resistant locks enable brands to comply with state regulations while maintaining style. They are designed to protect against small hands and still be easy to open by the adult customer in seconds. Compliance is necessary for brands that don’t wish to end up facing costly fines, recalls, and retail partnerships, and by building compliance into the box from the start, one can easily achieve significant cost savings.
Logos, colors, and finishing of the box ensure that the branding experience will linger for days after the smoke has vanished into thin air. By using foiling, embossing, and either matte or glossy laminating, you could turn your custom pre-roll box into a memorable experience. When brands put effort into creating a unique package design, they claim that repeat purchase rates rise up to 30% as a result of the trust that has been established by the distinctive packaging.
Scalability is all about managing the cost of each unit without compromising quality while expanding a cannabis brand. When brands reach production volumes that exceed the standard amount, the price of custom pre-roll boxes wholesale becomes much more competitive, with the promise of a 20 to 40% reduction in price per unit or more. Consistent branding across all orders is equally important when products from that line go to different dispensaries or states, as happens with bulk ordering.
Choosing the right box begins with selecting the right material and size of box for the product’s exact size and storage requirements. Humidity exposure, shipping distance and shelf display format are all factors that should be considered when deciding on a box design, as one designed for a humid environment will look very different from one optimized for low-humidity storage. An experienced packaging partner can expedite the decision-making process and prevent reprinting mistakes down the road.
