Child Resistant Packaging

What’s the Deal With Child-Resistant Packaging? 

So, what’s the big deal about child-resistant packaging? Why are there laws surrounding the topic?

Child-resistant packaging is designed so that it is difficult for any child under the age of five to open while still being accessible for people over the age of five to open. 

The growing prevalence of medical and recreational marijuana presents a need for child-resistant packaging since cannabis products are more accessible and commonplace. 

If you consider a situation where someone purchases a marijuana product from a dispensary and stores it in their home, a child wandering around could come across the package and even mistake certain cannabis products such as edibles for foods they usually consume. 

It’s essential to be aware of any laws present in your state regarding marijuana packaging so your business can be state compliant. If you’re looking for an in-depth guide that provides regularly updated information on legal packaging, check out Leafly’s article on the topic. 

While proper packaging is essential, it’s not the end-all in the context of state compliance laws. Labeling laws are equally as crucial as providing child-resistant packaging for your products. Leafly’s article does a great job highlighting state labeling laws in addition to state packaging laws. 

Now that we’ve touched on why child-resistant packaging laws exist, let’s dive into the specific types of child-resistant packaging on the market. 

State Compliant Marijuana Packaging 

Modern dispensaries feature a variety of marijuana packaging options that are best suited for specific product types and weights. We’re going to highlight the most prevalent forms of child-resistant packaging so your business can contain all the packaging essentials. 

Pop Top, Push & Turn, and Screw Top Vials 

Pop Top, Push & Turn, and Screw Top Vials are popular due to their storage convenience, security in holding products, and effortless opening style. 

With an airtight seal and a moisture-resistant design, you can be sure that Pop Top, Push & Turn, and Screw Top Vials will protect and maintain the integrity of your product. Utilizing Pop-Top, Push & Turn, and Screw Top vials for sale or display is an easy task due to the package’s compact nature. 

To open Pop-Top containers, squeeze either side of the container until you hear a distinct “pop” sound, and the lid will open.
