Cannabis packaging for Canadian brands

Canadian cannabis packaging has rules that most suppliers do not know well. We make plain packaging cartons, shipper cases and mailers for licensed producers, and together with our sister company LionPack we cover preroll tubes, child resistant closures and certified child resistant pouches. You get the speed of a domestic supplier with factory direct pricing.

What matters for cannabis packaging

  • Plain packaging

    One uniform background colour, one brand element and no images. We design cartons that stay inside the lines.

  • Child resistant

    Certified child resistant pouches and CR tube closures, with documentation for your files.

  • Room for the required info

    Label templates for Health Canada’s plain packaging rules so the mandatory panels fit.

  • Speed

    Preroll tubes run on a 30 day production lead time, and every quote includes a production timeline.

The speed of a domestic supplier with factory direct pricing

Preroll tubes run on a 30 day production lead time, every order is proofed and Pantone matched before production, and our Canadian team helps you plan child resistant packaging that fits Health Canada’s plain packaging rules.

Cartons and shippers for licensed producers

Retail cannabis cartons in Canada have to follow the plain packaging rules in the Cannabis Regulations: a single uniform colour, a limited brand element, the standardized cannabis symbol, the health warning and the required product information. We print cartons that leave space for all of it, and we send a dieline and proof on every order so your compliance team can check the layout before anything runs.

Behind the retail package there are shipper cases, master cartons and mailers for direct sales. Those are standard corrugated boxes, and we make them in any size with case markings and lot panels.

Preroll tubes and pouches through LionPack

Our sister company LionPack specializes in cannabis packaging: pop top and screw cap preroll tubes, certified child resistant mylar pouches and labels. Preroll tubes run on a 30 day production lead time and start at 5,000 units. Folding cartons and boxes start at 2,000 units, and multiple SKUs are welcome.

One conversation covers the whole package: the tube, the carton around it and the case it ships in.

A note on the rules

We help you plan packaging that fits Health Canada’s plain packaging requirements, but your licence holder is responsible for final compliance. Always check the current regulations and have your regulatory team approve the proof.

What we make for cannabis

Cannabis packaging questions

Are your cannabis cartons compliant with Health Canada rules?

We design and print cartons to fit the plain packaging requirements: uniform colour, limited branding and space for the mandatory information. Final compliance is the licence holder’s responsibility, so your regulatory team should approve every proof.

Do you supply child resistant packaging?

Through our sister company LionPack we supply certified child resistant pouches and preroll tubes with CR closures. Ask for the certification documents for the exact format you order.

What are your minimums for cannabis packaging?

Preroll tubes start at 5,000 units. Folding cartons and boxes start at 2,000 units. Multiple SKUs are welcome.

How long does production take?

Preroll tubes run on a 30 day production lead time. Cartons and boxes depend on the print method and finishes, and every quote includes a production timeline.
