That’s where MJ Wholesale comes in. 

Before we highlight some of the quality and professional packaging products that MJ Wholesale provides, let’s explore one of the essential comparisons in cannabis packaging today:

Child-resistant packaging vs. non-resistant packaging. 

Non-Resistant 

Non-resistant packaging refers to cannabis packaging that can be more easily opened by a child under the age of 5 years. 

It’s not hard to see how non-resistant marijuana packaging can pose an issue for young children. 

When a dispensary makes a sale, chances are the person who purchased the product will store the packaged product in their home. If a child were to stumble across some non-resistant packaging, there’s a chance they could open and unknowingly consume products such as edibles that might look like normal foods. 

JAMA Network reports that between and , there were 163 marijuana exposure cases for pediatric patients under the age of 10 in Colorado. This statistic is worth noting in the argument for the utilization of child-resistant marijuana packaging. 

Statistics such as the one previously mentioned from the JAMA network show why child-resistant packaging has become a legal requirement for dispensaries in many states.

Child-Resistant 

MJ Wholesale is proud to provide a wide selection of child-resistant Mylar packaging options so your dispensary can be state compliant. 

Do you have a preference when it comes to styles of child-resistant packaging? 

MJ Wholesale has you covered with the following options:

• Child-resistant CR Mylar Bags
• Grip n Pull Child Safe 
• Dymapak

Individual states require marijuana products to be concealed in addition to being present within child-resistant packaging during a sale. Selecting one of our opaque Mylar bags helps your business be state compliant on both ends.

How Child-Resistant Packaging Works

While child-resistant methods such as push and pop bottle tops have remained popular over the years, the growth of the marijuana industry in recent years has led to a renaissance regarding child-resistant packaging design. 

A big reason why there’s been an explosion of creativity regarding child-resistant packaging design is the marijuana industry’s need to package-specific types of products efficiently. These products include edibles, concentrates, and more. As the industry has grown, packaging has evolved.

MJ Wholesale specializes in providing an excellent selection of child-safe Mylar bags for discreet and long-lasting storage. A typical child-safe Mylar bag contains a tear-off strip at the top with a tight heat seal that can be accessed via a grip n’ pull method and resealed when needed.

The tight seal that child-resistant packaging presents helps to reduce any odor emission from products that may hinder discretion when storing cannabis products.

June is National Safety Month, and when it comes to providing safety for children, this concept has evolved to extend far beyond the use of baby gates and bike helmets. More than ever, families scrutinize products based on how manufacturers demonstrate concern for each consumer’s well-being. Our experience has helped us see the value of a good relationship with the consumer, and it is essential to earn their trust through incorporating the best practices of child safe packaging.

The Must-Knows of Child Safe Packaging

Although June is an excellent time of year to join forces and raise awareness about child-safe packaging, we know we have a continuous responsibility to help make packaging as safe as possible for children. Parents can’t foresee every potential risk, but our packaging specialists can help every customer reduce the risk better than anyone else.

So where do we begin? Child-safe packaging has many facets, but we recommend the following best practices to manufacturers at the start of the process.

1. Consider the material and components being used

If a product might be used by the child independently, be aware of the material being used and how it could be used or misused.  For example, plastic is an excellent option for juices, jellies, and more because of the risk of shattering.  Additionally, the size of the packaging components also plays a significant role in determining whether there is a choking hazard.

The details are very important for child-safe packaging, from being knowledgeable about how the packaging is made to considering each piece of the packaging.

2. Label products effectively

Be sure to include all the details, whether it’s a warning label about the contents of a household chemical product or directions for proper usage.  Many of these details are mandated by federal regulations, but remember to keep it bold and simple to make it easy on parents.

Between expertise with packaging regulations and design capability, you’ll want a packaging partner who can make the label effective without losing its appeal.

3. Child Resistant Closures / Caps (CRC)

You may have a product that needs to stay completely out of the hands (and mouths) of children — but we know they get into everything! That’s when you need to use a child-resistant closure to keep them out.

We have many great options for CRCs and several blog posts about them, too.  We are always happy to answer your questions as well so you can get the right closure designed just like you need it.
