Product Certifications & Compliance Documents

Understanding Packaging Certifications and Compliance Documents

Product certifications and testing documents help businesses evaluate packaging features, product specifications and available compliance information before selecting packaging for regulated or sensitive goods. MJ Wholesale provides available documentation for select products so dispensaries, processors, retailers, smoke shops and other businesses can review it before ordering.

What is child-resistant packaging?

Child-resistant packaging is designed to make a package significantly difficult for young children to open while remaining usable by adults. Child-resistant packaging can include specialized zippers, push-and-turn closures, squeeze-to-open containers and other tested closure systems.

Packaging requirements can vary based on the type of product being sold and the federal, state or local rules that apply to the business. Businesses should review applicable regulations before selecting a container or packaging format.

Why are child-resistant certifications important?

Child-resistant certification documents provide information about testing performed on a packaging system or closure. These documents can help businesses determine whether a specific package has supporting test documentation available from its manufacturer or supplier.

A certificate does not replace a business's responsibility to verify that the packaging is suitable for the intended product, use and jurisdiction. Requirements may differ based on product type, state law, local rules, labeling requirements and whether the package must be reclosable.

Why is child-resistant safety important for Mylar bags?

Mylar-style barrier bags are widely used to package products that benefit from protection against moisture, air, light and outside contaminants. A standard zipper bag is not automatically child-resistant. A bag marketed for child-resistant use should have an appropriate closure system and supporting documentation for the specific packaging construction.

MJ Wholesale carries select Loud Lock child-resistant Mylar bags in multiple capacities. Available certifications for select sizes can be accessed in the document directory above.

What is a Certificate of Analysis?

A Certificate of Analysis, often called a COA, is a document that identifies product-specific information associated with a manufactured item or lot. Depending on the product, a COA may include the product description, lot number, manufacturing date, specifications, test results or other quality-control information.

The Integra documents available on this page relate to select humidity-control pack products. They should not be confused with child-resistant packaging certifications, because they serve a different documentation purpose.

How should businesses use these documents?

• Confirm that the document corresponds to the exact product or package being purchased.
• Review the stated product size, closure, humidity level or model information.
• Keep applicable documentation with internal product and supplier records.
• Verify current federal, state and local packaging requirements.
• Contact MJ Wholesale before ordering if product identification is unclear.
