Secondary Packaging
Made-to-Order | 10,000 unit minimum colour
Secondary packaging is often essential for certain cannabis product categories. This is generally attributed to the size of the primary package, plus the addition of the provincial barcode requirements and the Excise Tax stamp. This can add a layer of operational challenges to an already challenging product format: much of the required labelling is “dynamic” and cannot be added to the carton until the time of actual packaging.
The team at Cannasupplies are experts in creating operational efficiencies, and can help reduce the challenges around labelling both primary and secondary packaging. Based on the product format, and your company’s unique packaging capabilities or restrictions, we can advise on solutions to meet your demands, while creating efficiencies.
Secondary packaging for cannabis product is often recommended given the following considerations:
- If the primary packaging cannot fit all required provincial elements (barcodes)
- If the primary package is not wide enough to include an excise tax stamp
- If the product comes with a dosing accessory, such as an extract with a syringe, orifice reducer, or additional dropper (ask us about our dosing accessories, or learn more here)
