Product Overview
Concentrates are the most demanding products in cannabis and CBD to package. They are sticky, they lose terpenes and potency in light and heat, and in most states they have to ship child-resistant. The small jar that holds them still needs a box that protects it, sells it, and stays compliant.
Our custom concentrate packaging is the box and carton side of that job. We build the outer packaging that holds your glass or silicone container in place, blocks light, carries your branding, and locks child-resistant when the law calls for it, so your wax, shatter, or live resin reaches the shelf in perfect shape.
Build specification
Choosing the substrate is the first decision on any project, and we keep six on hand: Kraft Board, Corrugated Board, Coated Art Board (C1S), Rigid Greyboard, Solid Bleached Sulfate (SBS), and Metallic Board. From compostable kraft for artisan and eco brands, to solid greyboard for luxury rigid boxes, to vivid SBS for cosmetics, pharma, and premium retail, there is a grade for every use. Ordering economical corrugated mailers or a magnetic-closure rigid box with real weight to it? Both start from the same pool of FSC-certified materials, selected to look sharp on shelf, ship safely, and land well at unboxing.
Finishing is where a box makes its impression, and we bring every technique to the table: soft-touch matte lamination, high-gloss lamination, silk lamination, spot UV coating, gold and silver foil stamping, embossing, debossing, and aqueous coating. Use spot UV for a gloss-on-matte contrast that pulls focus to your logo, or soft-touch lamination to wrap a rigid box in a velvety feel that reads as premium before it is opened. Foil stamping on SBS or coated art paper supplies the crisp metallic detail cosmetic, fragrance, and gifting brands rely on to support premium pricing and earn unboxing moments worth sharing.
Weight is the quiet detail that decides how a box feels and how it travels, so we carry every option from lightweight 8pt to heavyweight 28pt, graded on the point system shared by US and UK suppliers. Lightweight 8pt–12pt fits folding cartons and high-volume retail boxes neatly. The 14pt–18pt mid-range is the workhorse of product packaging, protective where it counts, still economical to ship. Heavyweight 20pt–28pt gives the rigid, substantial feel that luxury gift boxes, rigid set-up boxes, and premium cosmetic packaging demand, where the heft of the box signals quality before it is even opened.
Custom Concentrate Packaging, Built for a Fragile Product
Concentrates put more pressure on packaging than almost any other cannabis or CBD product. The oils are sticky and unstable, the terpenes fade fast, and the rules around child safety are strict. Good concentrate packaging has to handle all of that at once, without hiding the brand. A stock box does none of it well, which is why the concentrate brands that stand out invest in packaging built around the product itself.
Where our boxes fit
There are two layers to concentrate packaging. The primary container, usually a small glass or silicone jar, is what actually touches the product. The secondary packaging is the box or carton around it, and that is what we make. Our job is to hold that jar securely, protect it, carry your branding, and handle the compliance side, so the container and the box work as one clean package.
What we package
Concentrate boxes are built for the full range of extracts, sized to the jar or container you use:
- Wax, budder, and crumble
- Shatter and glass
- Live resin and live rosin
- Sauce, badder, and diamonds
- Distillate and RSO syringes
- Pressed hash and dry sift
Sized to your jar
Concentrate jars are small and vary a lot, from 5ml and 9ml glass to larger silicone and custom containers, so fit is everything. A box that is even slightly loose lets an expensive jar slide, scratch, or pop open in a bag. We build to your exact container and add an insert that grips it, so the jar sits dead still and the box feels solid the moment a customer picks it up. If you have not settled on a jar yet, we can help match the container and the box together.
Box styles for concentrates
The right style depends on your jar, your price point, and whether you need it child-resistant:
- Rigid boxes with a foam or cardboard insert that grips the jar
- Tuck-end cartons for a lighter, lower-cost option
- Push or slide tubes that double as a child-resistant format
- Sleeve and tray sets for a premium unboxing
- Blister cards for syringes and single doses
Child-resistance and compliance
Most states treat concentrates as a child-resistant category, so this is not optional for a lot of brands. We build boxes and tubes that meet recognized child-resistant standards while still opening easily for an adult customer. We also lay out the required information on the artwork before printing: a THC-content line, a batch or lot number, a QR code to your certificate of analysis, and any warnings your state asks for, so nothing has to be squeezed in at the last minute.
Protecting terpenes and potency
Concentrates lose their terpenes and strength when they sit in light and heat. The jar handles the airtight seal, and the box does the rest, using opaque, heavier board and a snug fit that keeps light off the product on the shelf and stops the jar rattling loose in transit. Kept out of light and held in a sealed jar, wax and rosin hold their color, texture, and terpene profile far longer than product left in clear packaging. For extra protection, we can add foil liners or darker interior printing.
Printing and finishes
Concentrate buyers are some of the most brand-loyal customers in the market, so a small box can do real work. We print full color across every panel and add the finishes that signal quality: matte or gloss lamination, foil in any color, embossing, and spot gloss. Small boxes reward restraint, so a clean logo and one strong finish usually beats a busy design.
Sustainable options
If sustainability is part of your brand, the outer box is an easy place to show it. We offer recycled and FSC-certified board, soy and water-based inks, and uncoated finishes that stay curbside recyclable, so the box supports your eco claim instead of undercutting it.
Pair it with the rest of your line
Concentrate boxes sit inside our wider CBD packaging range, so it is easy to keep one look across flower, edibles, and vapes. Brands that need barrier bags for flower often add mylar bags, and pre-roll lines pair naturally with the same branding.

FAQs
01 How long do concentrates last in the right packaging?
Kept cool and dark in an airtight jar inside an opaque box, most concentrates hold their potency and terpenes for up to a year. Light, heat, and air are what break them down, so the packaging does a lot of the work.
02 Do concentrates legally need child-resistant packaging?
In most US states, yes. Cannabis concentrates are treated as a child-resistant category, so the outer box or tube usually has to meet a recognized CR standard. We build packaging that certifies as child-resistant while still opening easily for adults.
03 Is concentrate packaging smell proof?
The airtight jar does most of the odor control. Our boxes and tubes add a second layer and can take a foil liner for extra containment, which helps with discretion in shipping and on the shelf.
04 What jar size should I use for concentrates?
5ml suits a single gram of most extracts, and 9ml covers larger or fluffier concentrates like crumble and cured resin. We build the box to whatever jar you pick, so you are not locked into a stock size.
05 Does packaging affect the quality of concentrates?
A lot. Clear jars and thin boxes let light and heat degrade the terpenes, color, and texture. Opaque board, a snug fit, and a proper seal keep the concentrate closer to how it left the lab.
06 Is concentrate packaging recyclable?
The outer box can be. We offer recycled and FSC-certified board with soy-based inks and uncoated finishes that stay curbside recyclable. Glass jars are widely recyclable too, while silicone usually is not.
