Custom Cannabis & CBD Packaging · Farmingdale, NY
We have been producing custom cannabis labels and packaging for manufacturers in the cannabis and CBD industry since its legal inception. That covers everything from a startup putting a first SKU on a dispensary shelf to established lines running dozens.
Cannabis packaging is the only category where the regulator and the shelf are pulling in opposite directions, and both decisions are cheaper to make before the die is cut.
Closure
A child resistant zipper changes the pouch, not just the spec sheet. It changes the seal area, the tear notch position and how much print real estate survives at the top of the package. Building it in from the start means the artwork is laid out around a closure that is already there. Our pouches are completely customisable down to the size and shape of each, which is what makes loose flower, gummies, mints and pre rolls all workable in the same format family.
Legibility
Cannabis labels carry more mandated copy per square inch than almost anything else on a shelf, and that text has to stay legible after it has been through a print process, a lamination and a year in a dispensary case. The various paper substrates we offer help ensure the labeling is eye catching while keeping vital product information legible. Where the panel genuinely runs out, a multi panel construction adds space without adding package.
Everything below runs at 24 Baiting Place Road. Requirements vary by state and change often, so confirm current rules with your own regulatory advisor before a run.

Cannabis and CBD is really four packaging problems wearing one category name. Which one you have decides the format before anything else does.
Loose flower and pre rolls are bought over weeks rather than used at once, which makes the closure the most used part of the package. A resealable child resistant zipper handles both requirements at the same time. A clear window lets the product sell itself where the flower is the argument, and full coverage printing does the opposite where the brand is. Pouch dimensions come off the fill volume rather than a catalog size. Our pouches are customisable down to the size and shape of each, and the child resistant zipper is built into the construction rather than added to it.
Gummies and mints put the most mandated text on the smallest package in the category. This is where the substrate choice stops being cosmetic, because a textured or heavily printed stock that fights legibility will fail a compliance check that a plain one passes. Multi panel constructions buy back space when the primary panel is genuinely full. The paper substrates we carry are chosen to keep vital product information legible, which is the whole point on a package this small.
CBD body oils, lotions, shampoos, conditioners, oil supplements and roll on perfumes sit in beauty and wellness aisles rather than dispensaries, and they are judged against beauty packaging. Precision cut shrink sleeves give 360 degrees of print on an awkward bottle without a label seam, which is why so much of this category has moved to them. We precision cut every sleeve to the container, and CBD body oils, lotions, shampoos, conditioners, supplements and roll on perfumes are all formats we already run.
We have been producing labels and packaging for this industry since its legal inception, which means the questions a new operator asks are ones we have already answered several times.
Our team is always working with startups to help get their feet off the ground. Digital printing means a first run does not carry plate costs, and the price does not move because the artwork has twelve colors.
Prepress, printing and converting all happen in Farmingdale. A brand running pouches for flower and sleeves for a tincture gets both off the same floor with the same color.
Foil, emboss, tactile and spot varnish, glitter varnish, silk screen, HoloKure and Kaleidoscope are all available on cannabis work, not held back for other categories.
Yes. We run pouches with child resistant zippers, which give you an easily stored package that cannot be tampered with by the wrong hands. It is a construction decision, so tell us early and the artwork gets laid out around it.
Loose flower, gummies, mints and pre rolls are the usual four. Our pouches are completely customisable down to the size and shape of each, so the package comes off your fill volume rather than a stock size.
Either way. A clear window displays the product inside, or full coverage printing keeps it hidden. Which one is right usually depends on whether the flower or the brand is doing the selling.
There is. We offer pressure sensitive labels comprised of hemp infused paper. It sits alongside the other paper substrates we carry, which are chosen to keep vital product information legible while the label still looks like something.
Precision cut shrink sleeves. They are the choice for CBD health and beauty products including body oils and lotions, shampoos and conditioners, oil supplements and roll on perfumes, because they wrap an awkward bottle with no seam and no label edge to lift.
We print to the artwork and specification you supply and we know the constraints this category works under. Requirements vary by state and change frequently, so confirm the current rules with your own regulatory advisor and we will build the package around them.
