Cannabis Packaging Guide: Find the Right Packaging for Your Product

MJ Wholesale Cannabis Packaging Buyer Guide

Find the Right Cannabis Packaging for Your Product

Cannabis packaging is not one-size-fits-all. The right package depends on what you are filling, the amount being packaged, how the product will be stored or displayed, the closure you need, labeling requirements and the packaging rules that apply in your market.

MJ Wholesale supplies wholesale cannabis packaging for cultivators, processors, dispensaries, cannabis brands and other commercial buyers. Use this guide to compare Mylar bags, pre-roll tubes, pop-top vials, flower jars, concentrate containers, bulk storage packaging, child-resistant options and custom branded packaging.

Not sure where to begin? Start with what you are packaging. You can then compare dedicated collections by size, material, style and application without searching through the entire site.

1. What Are You Packaging?

2. Cannabis Flower Packaging

Cannabis flower can be packaged in flexible Mylar bags, glass or plastic jars, pop-top vials and larger bulk-storage packaging. The right format depends on product weight, flower density, required headspace, branding area and the type of closure you need.

Shop Mylar Bags by Flower Weight

Mylar bags are widely used for cannabis flower because they are lightweight, easy to store and available in many sizes and finishes. MJ Wholesale has dedicated collections for the most common flower weights.

Compare Mylar Bags by Style & Feature

After choosing the approximate bag size, compare the appearance and closure features that fit your product and branding.

Shop Cannabis Flower Jars by Size & Material

Rigid flower jars are commonly selected when presentation, stackability and shelf appearance matter. MJ Wholesale separates flower jars by capacity and material to make comparison easier.

Shop Pop-Top Vials by Dram Size

Pop-top bottles and dram vials are another common rigid packaging option. The correct dram size depends on the product, flower density and how much headspace you want.

3. Pre-Roll, Joint & Blunt Packaging

Pre-roll packaging needs to protect finished joints, cones and blunts during storage, transport and retail. MJ Wholesale has dedicated tube collections by length, making it easier to match the package to the finished product.

Compare Pre-Roll Tubes by Length
Tube Size Common Use Shop Collection
70mm Mini pre-rolls, smaller products and cartridge packaging Shop 70mm Tubes
78mm Compact pre-roll and cartridge packaging Shop 78mm Tubes
90mm Standard pre-roll and joint packaging Shop 90mm Tubes
98mm Longer joints, blunts and pre-roll formats Shop 98mm Tubes
116mm Long pre-rolls, blunts, infused pre-rolls and king-size formats Shop 116mm Tubes
116mm Pre-Roll & Blunt Tubes

116mm tubes deserve their own comparison. They provide additional length for larger joints, blunts, infused pre-rolls and king-size cone formats. MJ Wholesale carries dedicated 116mm stock packaging and custom-branded 116mm options.

4. Cannabis Concentrate Packaging

Concentrate packaging includes small rigid containers for wax, rosin, resin, extracts and other concentrate products. Compare container capacity, material, lid style and branding area before choosing your package.

5. Cannabis Edible Packaging

Edibles can require very different packaging depending on serving size, texture, shelf presentation and the regulations that apply to the product. Flexible Mylar bags are commonly compared because they provide a large labeling surface and are available in multiple sizes and closure styles.

6. Cartridge & Vape Hardware Packaging

Compact rigid tubes are also used for cartridge and vape-hardware packaging. MJ Wholesale has dedicated 70mm and 78mm collections that include cartridge-oriented packaging formats.

7. Child-Resistant Cannabis Packaging

Child-resistant requirements vary by product and jurisdiction. MJ Wholesale carries packaging available in child-resistant configurations, including Mylar bags, pop-top packaging and other container styles.

Important: Do not assume every product within a broad packaging category is child-resistant. Review the individual product specifications, available documentation and the requirements that apply to your market.

8. PCR & Sustainable Cannabis Packaging

Businesses looking for packaging made with recycled content can also compare MJ Wholesale's PCR packaging collection. PCR stands for Post-Consumer Recycled material and can be relevant for brands and markets with sustainability-focused packaging requirements.

9. Bulk Flower Storage & Processing Packaging

Cultivators and processors often need packaging before a product ever reaches its final retail container. Bulk flower storage may require larger bags, turkey bags, humidity control and secondary packaging supplies for staging and storage.

10. What Features Matter Most?

Once you know the product and approximate package size, compare how the package needs to perform throughout storage, transport, filling and retail.

Odor Control Consider smell-resistant packaging when storing aromatic flower and related products.
Moisture Protection Consider barrier properties and humidity management for longer storage periods.
Light Protection Opaque packaging can be useful where product exposure to light should be reduced.
Airtight or Resealable Closure Think about whether the package will be opened once or repeatedly by the end user.
Child-Resistant Closure Select a documented child-resistant option when required for the product and market.
Labeling Area Leave enough usable package surface for branding, product information and required labels.
Display Visibility Clear windows or glass can make the product visible when that presentation is appropriate.
Bulk Storage Capacity Larger commercial formats may make more sense for processing and cultivation operations.

11. Stock vs. Custom Cannabis Packaging

Stock Cannabis Packaging

Stock packaging is the fastest path when you need existing sizes, colors, materials and closure styles without creating a custom production run.

Shop All Cannabis Packaging
Custom Printed Labels

Add brand graphics, product information and other printed content using custom roll labels sized to the package.

Custom Mylar Bags

For brands that want the graphics printed as part of the bag itself, compare custom printed Mylar packaging rather than applying a separate label.

Shop Custom Printed Mylar Bags
Packaging With Labels & Application

For selected packaging, MJ Wholesale can supply the packaging, custom label and label-application service so the packaging arrives closer to ready-to-fill.

Not Sure Which Size Will Fit?

Product density, dimensions and required headspace can change how a package fits. When available, testing packaging before committing to a larger wholesale order can help prevent ordering the wrong size.
