CBD Packaging Built for Compliance

Materials Matched to Structure and Budget
We build CBD packaging from three base materials, each suited to a different combination of budget and structural need.

|---|---|---|---|
| SBS Board | Retail cartons, tinctures, capsules | 12pt to 24pt | Bright surface with room for compliant labeling. |
| Rigid Chipboard | Premium child-resistant boxes | 1.5mm to 4mm | Dense structure suited to CR hardware. |
| CRB | Cost-effective retail cartons | 14pt to 24pt | Recycled paperboard with a printable white front. |
Built Around Compliance-Driven Categories
Here is what makes our process different for CBD packaging.
Built for Compliance-Driven Categories
We work on child-resistant closures, opaque stock, and dedicated dieline zones for state-mandated warning labels and THC content statements.
Free 3D Mockup With Every Quote
Before you commit to a production run, see your dieline, finish, and branding rendered in 3D so you can review label zone placement and structure before it goes to press.
48-Hour Quote Turnaround
Send your specs and we respond with a formal quote within 48 business hours. Not a generic online calculator, but a real review of your box style and compliance needs.
Sample Before You Scale
Order a physical sample of your carton or rigid box before committing to a full production run, so you can check fit, closure function, and finish in hand.
Material Options for Every Budget
Choose CRB for cost-effective retail cartons or rigid chipboard when you need a premium child-resistant structure, with the same turnaround standards at every price point.
Ships to All 50 States
We manufacture and ship empty packaging nationwide. Minimum order quantities start at 50 units depending on box style.
Built for CBD Brands Scaling Into Retail
Many CBD brands start with a single SKU, like a tincture or a gummy line, and need packaging that can hold up to retail and dispensary shelf requirements from day one. That usually means confirming early whether a child-resistant closure applies, whether the product needs opaque packaging, and how much dieline space to reserve for state warning labels before finalizing the artwork. Getting those structural decisions right at the quote stage tends to save a reprint down the line.

Common Questions About CBD Packaging
Answers to the questions CBD brand founders ask most when specifying custom packaging for the first time.
QIs your CBD packaging child-resistant?
Yes, on select box styles. Our Rigid Setup Boxes are available with a child-resistant closure option built to CPSC standards, with a 50-unit minimum and 15 to 22 business day turnaround. If your product requires a child-resistant closure, tell us at the quote stage so we can confirm the right structure and hardware.
QDo you handle state-specific cannabis labeling requirements?
We build dedicated dieline zones into the packaging layout for THC content statements and state-mandated warning labels, so there is room designed in from the start. Final regulatory labeling compliance, including which warnings and disclosures apply in your state, is the brand’s responsibility. We manufacture and ship empty packaging only.
QCan you produce opaque or discreet packaging?
Yes. Window Boxes are available in fully opaque or windowed versions depending on what your state requires or what your brand prefers. All orders ship in plain, discreet cartons regardless of box style.
QWhat packaging works best for CBD tinctures and dropper bottles?
Product Cartons in SBS board are a common fit for tinctures and dropper bottles, sized to hold the bottle securely with room for required labeling. Rigid Setup Boxes are an option if you want a heavier, premium unboxing feel or need a child-resistant closure.
QDo you produce packaging for CBD edibles?
Yes. We produce cartons for gummies and other edibles in SBS board or CRB, along with Display Boxes built for dispensary shelf presentation. Finishing options include soft-touch lamination and foil stamping.
QWhat is the minimum order for CBD packaging?
Minimums vary by format: Rigid Setup Boxes start at 50 units, while Product Cartons, Window Boxes, and Display Boxes start at 100 units. Turnaround runs 10 to 22 business days depending on the style.
